DESCRIPTION
Three-Lined Cory (Hoplisoma trilineatum, formerly Corydoras Trilineatus)
ADD 10 TO CART, PAY FOR 9
Three-lined corys are peaceful, adorable little bottom-dwellers with a beautiful maze-like pattern and three soft stripes that make them truly stand out. Their gentle personalities and curious exploration bring a soft, charming touch to any tank.
Diet:
A variety of good-quality fish food will work perfectly, as long as they sink and actually reach your corys at the bottom.
- Sinking pellets (the pellet I personally recommend is DENNERLE Cookies - special menu)
- Frozen foods
- Baby brine shrimp
- Occasional vegetable-based foods
- Grindal worms. Feeding these wiggly worms will make your corys feel like they're foraging freely in nature - it's their favourite treat and brings out their happiest, most natural behaviour. You can even get your own Grindal worm culture right here in my store.
Important Cory fact:
These fish must be kept in groups of the same species, as they naturally live in large shoals in the wild. I recommend a minimum of six of one kind, as smaller mixed groups don't give them the security they need. I have seen people keep just three Cory's, and they often fade away one by one from stress. Proper same-species groups make them feel safe, confident, and active, allowing them to truly thrive.
