Melanistius Cory 3-4CM . This fish is a peaceful bottom dweller that thrives in groups of 5 or more due to its shoaling nature. In the wild, C. melanistius can be found in coastal rivers and their tributaries, adapting to a wide range of water parameters. They can acclimate to most community set-ups as long as extreme conditions are avoided. However, this species is susceptible to barbel infections/erosion, so it’s crucial to keep them on a soft sand substrate to protect their delicate sensory organs, rather than gravel where waste can accumulate unnoticed.
