Leopard Corydora
Corydoras julii
Corydoras, or Cory Cats, are incredible little bottom dwellers that add some life to the bottom of your tank.
Corys are peaceful and prefer to spend their time sifting through the top layer of your substrate alongside other Corys. They are recommended to be kept in groups of at least 6 others, but more may be added as well.
Corydoras are omnivores, they will appreciate being provided with a well-balanced diet of quality flake food, frozen food, and/or live food. A tank of 20 gallons is recommended for a school of Corys, as they grow only to 2 inches.
Providing them with a planted aquascape is preferred as they like shaded areas to hide and sift through. Smoother/softer gravel will be a better fit for these fish, their soft facial barbels are prone to being damaged on rougher substrates and surfaces while they are cleaning up.
Leopard Cory Cat Specifics
Leopard Corydoras are social and schooling, so keeping them in a group of at least 5-6 is best. They prefer their water temperature to be between 73-79oF, pH between 6.0-8.0, and dKH between 2-25
