Salt & Pepper Corydoras
Corydoras habrosus
Family: Callichthyidae
One of the three 'dwarf' corydoras species, C. habrosus reaches just 3 cm and has a distinctive row of dark blotches along its flanks. It is more active in the midwater than most corydoras and is ideal for nano planted tanks. Groups of 10+ will show confident, exploratory behaviour and make excellent companions for small shrimp.
