Peppered Corydoras (Tank-Bred)

To protect our animals and to ensure they get to our customers healthy, we will only ship orders with Nano Fish via UPS Next Day Air.

Sustainably bred and tank-raised, Peppered Corydoras (Corydoras PALEATUS) make a hardy and wonderful addition to any freshwater aquarium. With their peaceful nature and diligent scavenging abilities, these fish not only add visual interest but also help maintain a clean and healthy environment for other aquatic life. We sell them at about 1 inch to 1.5 inches in length.

We recommend keeping these guys in groups of 3 or more for them to feel safe in a large school.  

Peppered Corydoras are pretty easy to care as long as they are introduced to a mature, cycled tank. They can acclimate to a wide range of parameters.  The following are our water parameters we keep them at:

Our Tank Water Parameters

PH: 7.2 to 7.5
GH: 7 to 8
KH: 3 to 4
TDS: 180 to 250
Temp: 72 to 75

We feed them a mix of live baby brine shrimp, frozen daphnia and high-quality flake food.
