Peppered Cory

Peppered Cory

Peppered Cory (Corydoras paleatus) is a hardy and peaceful bottom-dwelling catfish that is very popular in community aquariums. Known for their attractive peppered pattern and active behavior, these fish spend most of their time searching the substrate for food.

They are social fish and do best when kept in groups. Peppered Corys are excellent additions to community tanks and help keep the aquarium clean by eating leftover food.
