Corydoras Similis

Corydoras similis – Similis Cory

Corydoras similis, commonly known as the Similis Cory, is a peaceful and attractive bottom-dwelling catfish that makes an excellent addition to a community aquarium. They have a distinctive pattern of dark markings across the body, complemented by a subtle golden sheen and a beautifully patterned head.

Like most Corydoras, they are social fish and should ideally be kept in a group of 6 or more. They spend much of their time exploring the substrate, searching for food, and interacting with one another.
