Peppered Cory Cat

Special requirements

• Barbel Protection

  Requires a smooth sand or fine gravel substrate to prevent damage to their sensitive and easily injured barbels.

• Social Schooling

  Highly social species that must be kept in a group of six or more to ensure proper health and natural behavior.

• Lighting and Cover

  Requires a well-planted aquarium with plenty of caves or hiding places to provide relief from bright aquarium lighting.

• Post-Spawn Care

  For successful breeding, adults must be separated from the eggs immediately after spawning to prevent them from eating the clutch.
