Peppered Corydoras - Longfin

Peppered Corydoras LongFin, Corydoras Paleatus are small, peaceful catfish with little peppered black spots on their silvery body and of course with these, their long, flowing fins. They grow to about 2 inches and can live on average about 3-5 years. They're bottom dwellers that need soft sand or fine gravel, gentle water flow, and prefer lots of hiding spots among plants or driftwood. It's imperative to keep them in groups of six or more so they feel safe and swim happily.

The Longfin Paleatus Corydoras also play a crucial role in maintaining a balanced ecosystem. As diligent scavengers, they forage in the substrate, keeping it clean of debris and uneaten food. Their presence helps to mitigate algae growth and promote optimal water quality, ensuring a healthy environment for all.
