Family : Callichthyidae
Sodalis Corydoras is a small, discreet catfish from the Amazon basin. It is distinguished by its spotted pattern and peaceful behavior.
Description
This corydoras has a stout, armored body, beige to light gray with small black spots scattered over the body and head. A dark stripe crosses the eye. The fins are transparent with a few black dots. It has well-developed barbels. Like other corydoras, it can breathe air at the surface. It is a schooling species that lives in groups. It is less active than some relatives but remains a good forager. Its modest size makes it an excellent choice for nano tanks.
