Peppered Cory Cats are popular aquarium fish because they’re small, peaceful, and help clean the tank. They do well in a tank of at least 20 gallons and grow to about 2.5 inches. They prefer a soft, sandy bottom to protect their sensitive barbells and need some open swimming space, so don’t overdo the plants. Keep them in groups of 6 to 8, and feed them sinking pellets and other small foods. Be gentle when handling them, as their barbells can be easily damaged.
