Description
Assorted Corydoras
The Assorted Corydoras group offers a delightful variety of small, peaceful catfish that are perfect for community aquariums. Known for their playful nature and bottom-dwelling habits, Corydoras help keep the substrate clean by scavenging leftover food while adding charm and activity to the lower levels of the tank.
Available in a wide mix of species and patterns—such as Bronze, Peppered, Panda, Albino, and more—Assorted Corydoras bring both variety and personality to your aquarium. They thrive in groups of 5 or more, where their natural shoaling behavior shines as they explore and sift through the substrate together.
