Description

I never understood what's so special about Corydoras catfish. They're rather drab, mud-colored little things without much personality. They tend to just huddle together in some dark corner of their tank, not doing much.

How wrong I was! I just had never actually seen happy corys in a proper tank. Last weekend, I visited a hobbyist who had those exact things, and took some photographs too. This is Corydoras similis. The common name of this species in Finnish means "little sapphire catfish," and now I realize there's a reason for that.
