Peppered Cory Catfish

DESCRIPTION These catfish are a great choice for beginner to intermediate level aquarists because they are quite hardy and adaptable, very peaceful, and they help keep the bottom of the aquarium clean by eating up leftover fish food and algae. For a catfish, this species is small growing 3 to 4 inches in length as an adult. These bottom dwelling fish prefer to be in schools of 6 or more but 1 or 2 are often kept in smaller tanks. This catfish comes in a variety of intriguing colorations.Name: Peppered Cory Catfish (Sm) Scientific Name: Corydoras paleatusGroup information: Cory CatfishExperience Level: BeginnerHousing: Tank Size - 10 gallons Behavior: PeacefulCompatibility: Schooling Fish Swim Level: BottomFeeding Instructions: OmnivoreMaximum Size: 2.5 inVet Assured: Pets purchased at PetSmart are part of our exclusive Vet Assured program, designed by PetSmart veterinarians to help improve the health and well-being of our pets.
