Corydoras Deckeri 3cm (RARE)

The Corydoras Deckeri (Corydoras deckeri) is a rare and highly sought-after catfish from the river systems of Colombia and Venezuela. Sporting a distinctive pattern of dark blotches and a bold lateral stripe against a pale, iridescent body, this species is a true gem for the dedicated aquarist. Like all Corydoras, it is a sociable bottom-dweller that thrives in groups and spends its days busily foraging along the substrate.
