Known as the Corydoras Paleatus genus, the Peppered Corydoras is also known as Peppered Cat, Peppered Cory or Salt and Pepper Cory. It can be found in the La Plata Basin and Southeastern Brazil. It will go up to 7cm (2.8 inches) in length, so the tank should be at least 45cm (18 inches) in length. Make sure the water temperature varies between 19 and 26C (66 to 79F). Their food should consist of dried food, insects, worms, plant matter and crustaceans.The Peppered Corydoras has a pair of short barbels and it has a tall body. His lower lateral armor has between 20 and 22 bony plates, with the upper part having between 22 and 24. The ones from the bottom have a pale yellow color while the ones from the upper part are either olive/brown or dark olive/green.
This species is the most kept species out of all the Corydoras fish. This happens because it’s the least demanding of them, living in all kinds of water types. Still, it would be nice if you placed some plants inside their aquarium, as they enjoy hiding sometimes. The bottom of the aquarium should be made out of sand, so it’s soft and fish can burrow in it.
The female of the species can be recognized by the body, which is a bit longer and more robust than the male. The spawning will happen in a place chosen by the female, usually on a rock or on some plant leaves.
The male clasps the female and will deposit the sperm. Next, the eggs will leave the eggs in the place they chose, touching them with the mouth quickly.
The spawning process will take place a few times, taking three hours sometimes. In some cases, there will be two males taking part in the process, since the number of eggs can make it difficult for just one male to manage. It takes 5 or 6 days for the eggs to hatch.
