Welcome to the lovely little Cory Catfish world. Free tips about keeping Cory Catfish. Cory Catfish information, and more on Cory Catfish, your home and family and pet home.
Corydoras Paleatus, or Peppered Cory originates from the lower Parana river basin and coastal rivers in Uruguay and Brazil.
They grow to about 5-9cm or 2-3 inches. Males are smaller, although the dorsal fin and pectoral fins are longer on the male.
They are found in ponds and feed on worms, insects and plant matter.
They are hardy, good looking and peaceful fish. Their barbels (whiskers) are sensitive and they need fine sand/ gravel which looks like course salt, as a substrate.
Peppered Cory’s prefer a planted tank, with temperatures around 60-75f (20-24c) and like to nibble on algae that grows on floating plants.
The lighting in the tank should not be too bright. Plenty of hiding places such as bogwood (mopani wood) can be added.
If you find they dart quickly to the top frequently check the water quality!
Peppered Cory’s will eat sinking pellets, algae wafers, frozen and live food and bloodworms or Daphnia.
