Corydoras CW027 High Fin Spotted Cory 4cm

The CW027 High Fin Spotted Cory (Corydoras sp. CW027) is a striking and sought-after undescribed Corydoras species from South America, distinguished by its bold dark spots over a pale silver body and an impressively tall, elongated dorsal fin that sets it apart from most other Corydoras in the hobby. The elevated dorsal fin gives this species a particularly regal appearance, making it a standout addition to planted community aquariums. Like all Corydoras, it is peaceful, social, and most at home foraging along the substrate in the company of its own kind.
