Additional information

 

One of the commonest of the corydoras family.
Being an excellent scavenger, it is an invaluable addition to almost any aquarium.

Ensure the gravel is a smooth type, otherwise it's "whiskers" will soon wear away as it forages around for food.

Spends almost all it's time at the bottom of the aquarium.
