Pictures of fish and fish in store may vary, these are just examples/fully grown fish

The Salt and Pepper Pygmy Cory Catfish (Corydoras habrosus) is a very animated, distinctively marked schooling fish that is perfect for the community and planted aquarium.  As its name suggests, it has a light tan body covered with black and shiny silver spotting and broken striping.  This is a much smaller species than the similarly-named Peppered Cory Catfish (Corydoras paleatus), which we also offer.

These Corydoras are one of the smallest amongst all corydoras species, and a lovely addition to nano tanks to larger tanks

We highly recommend using either sand substrate, or small-non sharp gravel due to the fact that they are usually sifting through the substrates.

Corydoras are omnivores and it is recommended that you feed them algae wafers and regular pellet/wafers as well.
