The Paleatus Cory is one of our favorite Corydoras species. The Paleatus Cory is commonly called the Peppered Cory or Salt and Pepper Cory. They show their best behavior while shoaling in groups of 2 or more fish. The Pepper Cory is extremely peaceful making it a great addition to any community tank and even most shrimp tanks. They reach a max size of around 2.5 inches.
Paleatus Cories have a great peppered coloration that is sure to standout on any light colored substrate. Corydoras species prefer a sand substrate as they enjoy scavenging for food. It is also less abrasive to their barbels making sand the best long term substrate solution for the Corydoras family.
We feed our Paleatus Corys a large variety of foods which include finely ground Northfin flake foods, small Northfin pellets (veggie, community, & bug pro), frozen foods and occasionally blackworms.

The paleatus are doing great and adapted well to my tank. They appear to be thriving. I wish I could say the same on the Venezuelan's, which unfortunately didn't make it -- albeit different tank (same parameters). Not sure why, but I will definitely try again. The corydoras are my favorite little guys!!
These little guys arrived in top condition, acclimated and dropped them in the tank and they got right to work! I love getting fish from Flip Aquatics... really nice and healthy. When there's an issue they take care of it right away. Customer service is on point!
I love these little guys! I am going to order more when they are back in stock.
I bought these 3 little Peppered Corys about a week ago today, and I love them dearly! Unfortunately, one of them passed away 2 days after I got them. Sadly, I found him/her lifeless in my tank in the morning after I turned the light on for the day. I don't know what the reason is. The other two Corys are quite active and busy, as well as the 3 Kuhli Loaches and the trio (plus one extra) of Nerite snails I ordered along with them. They also get along fine with the Rainbow Guppies who they share the tank with.
I've ordered fish and snails a few times now, from Flip Aquatics, and they never disappoint. In a few months, I plan on adding a few more Peppered Corys and Kuhli Loaches to the family I have in there now!
Nice healthy fish
