These catfish are social creatures, thriving in groups of six or more, and display a calm temperament, making them ideal for community aquariums. Cory catfish are hardy and adaptable but require clean, well-oxygenated water with a soft sandy substrate to protect their delicate barbels. They are perfect companions for beginner aquarists and are popular in the UK market, often searched under terms like "corydoras for sale", "cory catfish for sale near me", and "panda cory for sale."

FAQs

How many cory catfish should be kept together?

Cory catfish are social fish that thrive in groups, so it is best to keep at least six individuals of the same species together to ensure they feel safe and exhibit natural behaviour.

Do cory catfish eat dead fish?

While cory catfish primarily feed on bottom-dwelling insects, larvae, worms, and some plant matter, they will also consume flesh from dead fish if available in the tank.

Are cory catfish hardy fish?

Cory catfish are generally hardy and less prone to stress than some other small fish species, but they can be sensitive to sudden changes in water conditions, so maintaining stable water parameters is important for their health.

Do cory catfish help clean the aquarium tank?

Cory catfish are excellent at helping keep the tank clean by scavenging leftover food particles and debris from the bottom, but they should not be relied on as a replacement for regular tank cleaning and maintenance.
