Corydoras Arcuatus Skunk Cory Cat

Actually, all cories would greatly prefer to be
kept in species-specific schools of 3 or more. These 'Skunks,' as they are sometimes called, are slightly more sensitive to water conditions (high ammonia, nitrites) and are prone to secondary bacterial infections compared to hardier species, like Corydoras aeneus. I keep a school of 7 in a 75 L tank, and they are some of the most entertaining occupants. I would recommend nothing smaller than a 40 L aquarium for them, as they enjoy nosing around the entire footprint of the tank. Additionally, like most Cories, these little guys love to have a sand, or small smooth gravel substrate that is easy on their sensitive barbels.

These little corys are very cute. Feed them like you would usually would
for other corys: bloodworms, brine shrimp, daphnia, and also pellets and flakes. Remember to keep them in groups of 3 or more. They don't have to be the same species though...very good fishes. Not too advisable for an amateur cory keeper.
