Corydoras barbatus dwelling catfish

Corydoras barbatus, commonly known as the Bearded Cory, is a peaceful bottom-dwelling catfish prized for its distinctive whisker-like barbels and gentle temperament. This small species thrives in well-maintained freshwater aquariums with soft substrate, moderate water flow, and plenty of hiding spots among plants and driftwood. Hardy and undemanding, it feeds on sinking pellets and naturally scavenges the tank floor, making it an excellent addition to community setups. Ideal water parameters include temperatures between 22–26°C, slightly acidic to neutral pH, and regular water changes to maintain pristine conditions. A peaceful, low-maintenance choice for aquarists seeking active bottom feeders.
