Osteogaster eques (Horseman's Cory)

Osteogaster eques, also known as Corydoras eques or the Horseman’s Cory, is a striking freshwater catfish with rusty-orange coloring around the head and a metallic green-bronze body. Native to Brazil’s Amazon basin, this peaceful, social bottom-dweller brings color and activity to a community aquarium. A soft sand substrate provides a suitable surface for its natural foraging behavior.
