Description

Please note that the product information displayed is provided by manufacturers, suppliers and other third parties and is not independently verified by Petco.

Cory Cats are a fan favorite in the freshwater aquarium hobby due to their small adult size and their cleaning ability. The hobby has a large variety of Corydoras available, one of which is the Peppered Cory Cat. They are a very peaceful bottom dweller that can be added in groups into your aquarium without bothering other fish and plants. They can be added to planted aquariums but not heavily planted since they need plenty of swimming space. They prefer a sandy substrate because their barbells can be easily damaged. Also use caution when using a net on them. They will eat just about anything they can find in the substrate and will spend their day scooting around looking for food. If detritus becomes scarce, supplement their diet with sinking pellets.

ACCLIMATION: Avoid exposing new aquatic life to bright lights after opening the box. Turn off aquarium lights prior to floating aquatic life. Allow the sealed bag with your new fish to float in your aquarium for at least 15 minutes (but no longer than one hour) to ensure the water in the bag matches the temperature in your aquarium. A bacteria booster addition can assist with the addition of new aquatic life. Petco offers free water testing in store to determine if your water is safe for the addition of new aquatic life. DIET: A well-balanced diet consists of a variety of flakes, pellets, freeze-dried and frozen foods, depending on the species. FEEDING: Feed sparingly and no more than fish can eat in 1-2 minutes. Overfeeding can quickly foul the water, especially in smaller aquariums.
