Clean-Up Crew

         
        Corydoras catfish are South American armored catfish. There are over 70 species or Corydoras Catfish. They are all similar in requirements. You can mix different species and they will "school". You should keep these in groups of four or more.

Tank setup

Corydoras need small tanks. These fish can injure there mouths by feeding in jagged rocks. A substrate of sand or small rocks is good. 

Feeding

These fish eat leftover scraps. You should also feed them sinking pellets.
