Corydoras - Bandit (Hoplisoma metae)

The bandit cory (Corydoras metae or Hoplisoma metae) is a popular, peaceful, freshwater catfish known for the distinctive black stripe across its eyes that resembles a bandit's mask. These fish are favored by aquarists for their social nature, charming behavior, and utility as a "clean-up crew" in community aquariums.

Key Features:

  • Very peaceful, social, and non-aggressive bottom-dweller.
  • Temperament - bandit Corydoras are highly peaceful and thrive in a community aquarium with other small, non-aggressive species that inhabit the mid-to-upper levels of the tank
  • Moderate-friendly care level
  • Maximum size: 4-6cm
  • Ideal water temperature: 22.0°C - 26.0°C
  • pH range: 6.0 - 7.5

Provide soft sand or fine rounded gravel substrate to protect delicate barbels. Include plenty of hiding spots with driftwood, rocks, and plants. Moderate water flow and good filtration essential. Dimmer lighting preferred.
