Cory - Bandit (Hoplisoma metae)
The Bandit Cory (Hoplisoma metae) is a vibrant, hardy, and active freshwater fish known for its striking silver-tan body accented by a bold black "bandit" mask over its eyes and a brilliant, glowing black stripe running along the ridge of its back down to the tail. It is a popular and excellent choice for aquarists of all experience levels due to its easy care requirements.
Key Features
- Generally peaceful, but they are active, social, and known to become stressed or reclusive if kept in small groups. Keeping them in a school of at least five or six helps minimize stress and prompts them to display their best natural schooling, outgoing movement, and bottom-foraging behaviors.
- Beginner-friendly.
- Maximum size: 4–5cm
- Ideal water temperature: 21.0°C - 25.0°C
- pH range: 6.0 - 7.5
They appreciate a well-planted aquarium with open areas for swimming and foraging along the bottom. Darker substrates and dense vegetation help their vivid black mask and back stripe stand out, while providing plenty of hiding spots. A secure lid is recommended as they are capable of darting to the surface for a breath of atmospheric air and can occasionally jump.
