For the Freshwater aquairum fish fanatic!

Cory Catfish are fun, bright little fish who clean the bottom of tanks and eat algea, fish waste, and leftover food. They bring life to the aquarium and are very active and social fish. My cories did very well with my barbs !! Common names: Spotted Corydoras Albino Punctatus Cory Latin Name: Corydoras Punctatus Native Region: All species are from South America Temperament: Peaceful. Will not bother other fish in the tank. If kept in groups, cories will tend to school. Diet: Cory Catfish will eat just about anything! They mainly feed off algea or food left behind from other fish. You can purchase algea treats that float to the bottom of the tank. Most catfish, including Cories nibble on these treats. They can also be fed live bloodworms, glass worms, brine shrimp, crustaceans, invertebrates, and frozen, freeze dried and flake foods. Whatever it is, they should be fed at the bottom of the tank. Temperature: 73-81°F pH: 6.5-7.2 Adult Size: 2 1/2 inches Comments: They can be kept in any community tank with moderate plants and rocks. Make sure they have enough gravel to dig in. They will spend most of their time digging and searching for scraps of food. This and their playful appearance makes them very fun to watch. There are hundreds of species and color variations such as: brown, gray, and white albinos. The majority of Cory Catfish are brown or gray with spots of black. Some Cories have been recorded with a lifespan of up to 26 years! Cories have a special ability to process atmospheric air. They will ocassionally jump out of the water for a gulp of air.
