Corydoras Catfish
Corydoras are adorable little bottom-dwellers that scurry around like tiny vacuums, cleaning up leftover food. They’re peaceful and charming.

Feeding Tips
They eat sinking pellets and wafers. Drop food near the bottom so they get their share before mid-level fish eat it all.
Care Level
Very easy: excellent cleanup crew
Beginner Tip
Keep at least 4–6 corydoras together. They’re schooling fish and will hide if kept alone. Sand substrate is best, gravel can hurt their barbels.
