Often treated as "scavengers" in the home aquarium, the Corydoras have developed a strong following among catfish enthusiasts, in part due to beautiful Cory Cats like this one. All Corydoras are schooling fish, and should be kept in small groups of no less than a half dozen fish. They cannot subside on flakes or leftovers, and we recommend New Era soft Catfish Pellets or another similar, quality food for these fishes.
Corydoras are quite peaceful, and will mix well with virtually any fish that will not eat them. Care should be taken when placing these with some dwarf cichlids, as spawning pairs of dwarf cichlids may see Corydoras as a threat to their eggs (rightfuly so!) and strike first.
The Six Ray Cory Cat is now included in the members of the Aspidoras genus, though it has been included in the Corydoras genus. There remains some debate as to which genus is appropriate, though current thoughts imply Aspidoras. This fish is one of the smaller members of the Cory-clade, reaching a size on par with Habrosus. They are schooling and active, and care should be taken to not mix them with larger fishes.
