Black Venezuela Corydoras: The Deep-Toned Gem for Your Aquarium

Add a touch of profound elegance to your substrate with the captivating Black Venezuela Corydoras. These peaceful, active bottom-dwellers thrive in groups, bringing charm and utility to your freshwater setup.

Overview

The Black Venezuela Corydoras (*Corydoras schultzei* “Black Venezuela”) showcases a stunning, deep coloration, ranging from rich black to dark maroon across its entire body. Its fins often display reddish hues that intensify with maturity, adding to its unique allure. These charming catfish are known for their inquisitive nature, constantly sifting through the substrate with their sensitive barbels, a delightful sight for any aquarist.

Care Level

Considered a beginner-friendly species, the Black Venezuela Corydoras is a peaceful community fish, ideal for most tropical setups. They are highly social, requiring a group of at least six individuals to feel secure and display their natural schooling behaviours. Avoid housing them with aggressive or overly large tankmates.

Tank Essentials

A minimum 60-litre aquarium is recommended for a healthy school of Black Venezuela Corydoras, with longer tanks preferred to maximize bottom surface area. Provide a soft sand or very fine gravel substrate to protect their delicate barbels. Ample hiding spots created with driftwood, smooth rocks, and dense plant cover will ensure their comfort.

Diet

These omnivorous scavengers eagerly accept high-quality sinking pellets and wafers as their staple diet. Supplement with live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia to ensure balanced nutrition and vibrant health.
