Corydoras arcuatus

[steeler58]

Another one I've kept in the past but not recently. It's been around since the 1930's, reaches a length of 2.8" and can take a temp to 77F although some sources say as high as 79. I found them to be healthy and easily fed, some sources they are more susceptible to their barbels being worn down or torn by rough substrate than other species for some reason, something I did not observe however. They are one of the
prettiest corys IMO ;-)

A couple of sources also stated; they like a little swifter current.

The breeder I found up north has a decent supply of these.

To testify to the size they get absolutely massive for a cory.
Bigger than tue bronze and brochis I have.
