CW217 Rio Tomo Concolor Cory

The CW217 Rio Tomo Concolor Cory is a striking wild-caught corydoras prized for the rich violet-to-slate iridescence that develops across its body as it matures, most intense in dominant males. Collected from the Rio Tomo in Colombia's Orinoco drainage, this locality-specific Concolor variant is a peaceful, active bottom-dweller that brings constant motion and a touch of rare, wild-type color to the lower levels of a planted aquarium.

Notes: A schooling species best kept in groups of 6 or more to bring out natural behavior and confidence. Prefers soft sand substrate to protect delicate barbels, stable well-filtered water, and gentle flow. As a wild-caught import, it benefits from a mature, stable tank and rewards patient acclimation with deepening coloration over time.
