Corydoras Arcuatus (Skunk)

The skunk cory's black stripe runs dead straight from nose to tail, splitting a pale gold body right down the spine — sharper and more geometric than the blotchy patterning most Corydoras wear. It's disruptive camouflage more than skunk-style warning coloration, breaking up the fish's outline against dappled substrate. Otherwise it's textbook cory: constantly foraging, always in a group, never in a hurry.
