Cory Catfish 1.5"

Cory catfish are one of our favorite fish for community aquariums. They are peaceful, active, and always fun to watch as they cruise around the bottom of the tank looking for food.

These little catfish do best in groups, so we recommend keeping at least 6 together. When they are comfortable, you’ll see them schooling, digging through the substrate, and showing off their goofy little personalities.

Why people love Cory catfish:
• Peaceful and great for community tanks
• Fun bottom-dwelling fish
• Safe with plants, shrimp, and smaller peaceful fish
• Best kept in groups
• Great for beginners and experienced fish keepers

Cory catfish do best with sand or smooth gravel since they spend most of their time on the bottom. They are not picky eaters, but they should still be fed sinking pellets, wafers, and frozen foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, or daphnia. They may clean up leftover food, but they still need their own food to stay healthy.
