Venezuelan Red Sailfin Cory

This is one of the more strikingly colored corys in the trade, running a warm reddish-copper wash across a body built on the same tall-finned sailfin frame as its relatives. Like all sailfins it grows larger than the typical dwarf cory species, and that added size comes with a proportionally bigger appetite for sifting through substrate — a genuinely useful cleanup crew member in a bigger community tank.

Care level: Easy · Temperament: Peaceful, shoaling · Max size: ~3" · Min tank: 20 gal · Diet: Omnivore, sinking pellets + occasional live/frozen
