Peppered Cory (Corydoras paleatus)

Description

Temperature: 72-80

Minimum Tank Size: 15-Gallons

Peppered corydoras are a peaceful, shoaling species that grows up to 2.5″ in length. Keep six or more in a 15+ gallon aquarium! Corydoras need soft substrates like sand, as they have delicate barbels on their snout. They prefer soft slightly acidic water. They’re omnivores, so be sure to feed them a variety of vegetable and meat-based foods. If well-cared for, they may even spawn in your home aquarium!
