Descripción de la especie

From the waters of 南美洲 comes Corydoras trilineatus, a member of the family Callichthyidae. A whiskered bottom resident whose day begins when the lights go off. It lives on the bottom. Adults reach 4.6–6.7 cm. Keep bottom stock light — they share one floor. Feed sinking foods after lights-out, keep the sand soft, and never let nitrate climb unnoticed. Maintain 22–26 °C at pH 6–8. A solid choice for a well-planned community tank.
