Also called the Arched Cory, the Skunk Corydoras is named for the black stripe running down its back. This stripe is superimposed on a silver or transparent body and the fins of this species are transparent as well. Skunk Corydoras are one of the more popular species of Corydoras in the aquarium hobby, largely due to their attractive appearance. These fish are also very peaceful in nature which makes them popular additions to the community tank. Though they will likely thrive with a variety of tank mates, Skunk Corydoras are best kept in groups with six or more of their own species and tend to become more active in the presence of conspecifics.
