A very peaceful, active schooling catfish that spends almost all its time foraging along the substrate. They must be kept in groups of at least 6 individuals and require a soft, sandy substrate to prevent damage to their delicate barbels. Unlike many other corydoras, they tolerate higher water temperatures exceptionally well, making them ideal tankmates for Discus.
