Super Two lines Cory- Corydoras ornatus

Product Details

The Super Two Lines Cory (Corydoras ornatus) is a stunning and peaceful species of Corydoras catfish native to the Amazon River basin in South America. Known for its distinctive black markings that run in two parallel lines along its body, this small and active species is a favorite among aquarium hobbyists. Reaching an adult size of about 2.5 inches (6 cm), the Super Two Lines Cory is an excellent choice for a community tank, as it is non-aggressive and helps keep the substrate clean by scavenging for leftover food.

Water Conditions:
- Temperature: 72–78°F (22–26°C)
- pH: 6.0–7.5
- Hardness: 4–12 dGH
- Water flow: Gentle to moderate water flow, as Corydoras prefer calm, low-current areas.
- The Super Two Lines Cory is an omnivorous scavenger, primarily feeding on small invertebrates, detritus, and plant matter in its natural environment. In the aquarium, its diet can be easily managed with the following:
  - Staple Diet: Sinking pellets designed for bottom feeders, as well as algae wafers, which cater to their omnivorous nature.
  - Supplemental Foods: Offer occasional live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia to provide protein.
  - Vegetable Matter: Blanched vegetables such as zucchini, spinach, and peas can also be offered to ensure a balanced diet.
