About
Corydoras treitlii is a large species from Brazil's coastal drainages with a notably elongated snout that distinguishes it from most cories. It uses this extended snout to probe deep into substrate for invertebrates and detritus. Its size and feeding behaviour require a spacious aquarium with a deep, fine sand substrate.
