PYGMY SALT & PEPPER CORYDORAS 10 pack

🧂 Pygmy Salt & Pepper Corydoras (Corydoras habrosus) – Tiny, Peaceful, and Perfect for Nano Tanks

The Pygmy Salt & Pepper Corydoras, also known as Corydoras habrosus, is a delightfully small and peaceful bottom-dweller ideal for nano aquariums and planted tanks. Named for its subtle speckled pattern of black, white, and gray, this miniature cory is active, social, and thrives in groups—making it a favorite among aquascaping and community tank enthusiasts.

Unlike some larger cory species, the Salt & Pepper Cory stays under 1.25 inches, yet displays endless activity and personality as it scours the bottom for food with its adorable snout. It's an excellent cleaner that won’t disturb plants or decor, making it one of the best additions for peaceful community setups.
