RUSTY CORY CATFISH (rabauti) 10 pack

Rusty Cory Catfish (Corydoras rabauti) – Warm-Toned, Peaceful, and Always Active

The Rusty Cory Catfish, scientifically known as Corydoras rabauti, is a peaceful bottom dweller with a rich, coppery-orange body and a bold dark stripe running from its nose to tail. Its “rusty” hue adds warmth and contrast to planted or community tanks, and its social, schooling behavior makes it a favorite among aquarists of all levels.

Native to blackwater streams of the Amazon Basin, the Rusty Cory is easy to care for, loves soft substrates, and excels as part of your aquarium’s clean-up crew. Whether you're building a South American biotope or a colorful, peaceful tank, this cory brings both beauty and utility.
