Corydoras

Corydoras, or Cory Catfish (Corydoras spp.), are small, peaceful bottom-dwelling freshwater fish known for their armored bodies and playful nature. Native to the rivers and streams of South America, they thrive in groups and prefer soft, sandy substrates to protect their delicate barbels. With their hardy nature and charming personalities, they make excellent additions to community tanks.
