CORYDORAS SCHULTZEI, or the Black Venezuelan Corydoras, is a rare and highly desirable species of Cory Catfish. If you're looking for a cute, schooling fish, these guys are for you! These Black Venezuelan Corydoras we sell are bred in captivity by hobbyist and are not wild-caught. This means that they come from a sustainable source and are typically much hardier compared to wild-caught Black Venezuelan Corydoras. Due to their adorable schooling behavior, these fish have become pretty sought after in the hobby. We sell them at about 1 inch in length but they can grow to a a max size at about 2 inches,

We recommend keeping these guys in groups of 3 or more for them to feel safe in a large school.  

Black Venezuelan Corydoras are pretty easy to care as long as they are introduced to a mature, cycled tank. They can acclimate to a wide range of parameters.  The following are our water parameters we keep them at:

Our Tank Water Parameters

GH: 7 to 8
