Punctatus Colombian Corydoras Catfish

The Punctatus Colombian Corydoras Catfish is a peaceful bottom-dweller perfect for community aquariums. These small catfish reach 1-1.5 inches and feature distinctive spotted markings that add visual interest to your tank. Known for their gentle temperament, they spend their time foraging along the substrate, helping to keep your aquarium clean by consuming leftover food and debris. Corydoras catfish are social creatures and thrive best in groups of three or more. They prefer soft, sandy substrates that won't damage their delicate barbels. Ideal water conditions include temperatures between 72-82°F and slightly acidic to neutral pH. A well-established tank with plenty of hiding spots and gentle filtration creates the perfect environment for these charming bottom feeders. Hardy and low-maintenance, Punctatus Corydoras make an excellent choice for both beginner and experienced aquarists looking to add activity and natural cleaning behavior to their setup.
