Fish Tank Maintenance Tips: Try to change some of the water in the tank on a regular basis. Small frequent (weekly or every two weeks) water changes are better than infrequent large water changes. Small water changes will cause less stress and shouldn’t interfere with the biological cycle in the tank. If you have a larger tank, get a Python Vacuum or a Lee’s Premier Ultimate Gravel Vac. These vacuums make doing water changes a breeze. Gravel vac only half of the tank with each water change. Switch sides on the next water change.

Corydoras paleatus is a species of catfish (order Siluriformes) of the family Callichthyidae. Its common names include peppered cat, pepper cory or salt & pepper cory.[1] It originates from the lower ParanĂ¡ River basin and coastal rivers in Uruguay and Brazil.[1]

This fish species reaches about 5.9 centimetres (2.3 in) SL.[1] The male is smaller than the female and in proportion to body length, the dorsal fin and pectoral fins are longer on the male than the female.[2]

Corydoras paleatus is found in ponds[1], and feeds on worms, crustaceans, insects, and plant matter.[1]

C. paleatus has been known to produce sound; it does this by abduction of its pectoral fins. This is used by males during courtship and intrapersonal communication, and by both sexes and juveniles when distressed.[2]

In reproduction, males do not behave aggressively toward each other, nor do they monopolize mating areas or females.[2] The T-position is involved in courtship, as with many other Corydoras species.[2]
