These corydoras are active and peaceful. They clean the bottom of the tank well and don’t bother other fish. Easy to set up and maintain. Great for a new aquarium.

They are calm and don’t chase other fish. I’ve had them for six months and they’re still thriving. Just make sure the tank has plenty of hiding spots.
