Corydoras Melini

The Corydoras Melini, also known as the False Bandit Cory, is a peaceful freshwater catfish recognised by its cream body and distinctive dark stripe running from the head to the tail. Active and social, it makes an excellent addition to community aquariums.

Best kept in groups, Corydoras Melini thrive in well-planted tanks with soft substrates that protect their delicate barbels. Hardy and beginner-friendly, they help keep the aquarium clean by foraging along the bottom.
