Ideal Conditions for this Aquarium FishAppearance This is another species of colorful tropical freshwater fish. They have a light brown body color covered all over by mostly irregular darker brown patches. They are little busy bodies but very peaceful and like all Cory Cats they stay at the bottom of the fish tank most of the time.Peaceful, Community All Corydoras are peaceful and ideal for a community aquarium setup to clear all the extra flake food that sinks to the bottom. Feeding To keep them in their best shape it is a good idea to give them additional food in the form of bottom feeder pellets. Depending on the size of your tank you can keep two or more to keep the bottom clean, together with fish of other species. Strata It is important to note that this Cory like all fish with barbels or whiskers do best on a tank floor covered with finer gravel. A very coarse gravel tends to injure them on their barbels which results in them eating less and it can even lead to death in severe cases. They mainly use their barbels to find the food on the bottom therefore it is important to have finer or rounded gravel on the tank floor.
