Corydoras gossei
 

Often treated as "scavengers" in the home aquarium, the Corydoras have developed a strong following among catfish enthusiasts, in part due to beautiful Cory Cats like this one. All Corydoras are schooling fish, and should be kept in small groups of no less than a half dozen fish. They cannot subside on flakes or leftovers, and we recommend New Era soft Catfish Pellets or another similar, quality food for these fishes.
Corydoras are quite peaceful, and will mix well with virtually any fish that will not eat them. Care should be taken when placing these with some dwarf cichlids, as spawning pairs of dwarf cichlids may see Corydoras as a threat to their eggs (rightfuly so!) and strike first.
These small Cory cats are an excellent addition to a planted tank, and will mix well with many small fishes. The bright colours and attractive pattern of this fish make it one of the most desired and attractive Cory Catfishes.
