Corydoras catfish are characterized by their armored bodies, which are covered in bony plates called “scutes.” These fish have a flattened body shape with a downward-facing mouth. They typically have a variety of patterns and coloration, often featuring stripes or spots.

Corydoras are social and should be kept in groups of at least six individuals to prevent stress. They are bottom-dwelling fish and spend much of their time scavenging for food on the aquarium substrate. Because of their peaceful nature, they can be kept in community aquariums with other non-aggressive fish.

Corydoras are omnivores and have a varied diet. They will readily accept high-quality sinking pellets, flakes, and live or frozen foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia. A balanced diet will help maintain their health and vibrancy.
