| Up Keep: |
Keep in a tank with very fine gravel or sand. Keep plenty of plants around the edges and some open swimming spaces. |

Very easy to breed. The female will hold a few eggs with her pelvic fins to be fertilized. Then she will find a leaf to stick them to. A water change will often encourage spawning. |
| Comments: |
Out of all Corydoras these are one of the most popular. They
are hardy and and very peaceful. A school of 6 or more is
and excellent addition to a community tank. Peppered
Corydoras are great for picking up all the scraps of food
that sink to the bottom. |
