Rusty Cory Catfish (Rabauti) 10 Pack - Ideal Freshwater Community Fish

The Rusty Cory Catfish, scientifically known as Corydoras rabauti, is a popular freshwater aquarium fish loved by hobbyists for its charming appearance and peaceful nature. This 10 pack offering is perfect for those looking to establish a lively bottom-dwelling community in their freshwater tanks.

Size and Appearance

Rusty Cory Catfish typically grow to about 2.5 inches (6.5 cm) in length. They have a distinctive rusty or reddish-brown coloration with a slightly mottled pattern, making them an attractive addition to any aquarium. Their armored bodies and whisker-like barbels help them forage along the substrate, adding natural activity to the tank.

Temperament and Behavior

Known for their gentle and peaceful temperament, Rusty Cory Catfish are excellent community fish. They are social creatures that thrive in groups, so keeping them in packs of at least 6 is recommended to promote natural schooling behavior and reduce stress.

Tank Size and Setup

A minimum tank size of 20 gallons (75 liters) is ideal for a 10-pack of Rusty Cory Catfish, providing ample space for swimming and foraging. They prefer a well-planted aquarium with soft substrate such as sand or smooth gravel, which protects their delicate barbels. Hiding spots created by driftwood or aquatic plants are appreciated as they enjoy resting and feeling secure.

Water Parameters

• Temperature: 72-79°F (22-26°C)
• pH: 6.0-7.8
• Hardness: 2-12 dGH

Maintaining stable water conditions is essential for the health of Rusty Cory Catfish. They are hardy but sensitive to poor water quality, so regular water changes and efficient filtration are advised.

Diet and Feeding

Rusty Cory Catfish are omnivorous bottom feeders. They readily accept a variety of foods including sinking pellets, wafers, frozen or live bloodworms, brine shrimp, and vegetable matter. Their constant scavenging helps keep the tank floor clean, making them natural algae and detritus cleaners.

Compatibility with Other Fish

Due to their peaceful nature, Rusty Cory Catfish coexist well with other non-aggressive community fish such as tetras, guppies, rasboras, and peaceful gouramis. Avoid housing them with large or aggressive species that may bully or prey on them.
