Corydoras paleatus

Corydoras paleatus is a hardy and peaceful bottom-dwelling catfish, also known as the Peppered Cory. It reaches approximately 6-7 cm and does best in a group of at least 6 individuals. It is well suited to a peaceful community aquarium with fine sand or a soft substrate, good filtration and hiding places. It enjoys foraging along the bottom, so it is important to provide quality sinking food for bottom-dwelling fish.
