Cory Catfish background information

Cory Catfish. Some background information.

Corydoras. The name comes from the Greek ‘Kory’ (helmet) and Doras (skin), because of their hard skin.

There are over 140 species of Corydoras.

Cory Catfish are native to South America. They live in areas from the east of the Andes to the Atlantic coast, from Trinidad to the La Plata River drainage in Northern Argentina.

They are widely distributed in South America from the Magdalena River basin in Columbia, but not in Panama.

Cory’s are mostly found in smaller-sized streams, in marshes and ponds.
(Very much like your African Dwarf Frog and your Siamese fighting fish/ Betta fish).

They live in slow moving and mostly still streams (but not stagnant) and small rivers of South America where the water is shallow and clear.
