Why this fish?

Corydoras paleatus, commonly known as the Peppered Cory, is one of the most reliable and beginner-friendly catfish available.

Known for its mottled pattern and constant foraging behaviour, it brings life and movement to the lower levels of the aquarium without disturbing plants or other fish.

Common mistakes

  • Keeping them alone instead of in groups
  • Assuming they survive on leftover food only
  • Using sharp gravel → damages barbels
  • Overcrowding the bottom of the tank
  • Thinking they replace tank maintenance

Care made simple

  • Temperature: 20–26°C (tolerates cooler water well)
  • Diet: Sinking pellets, wafers, frozen foods
  • Group size: 4–6+ recommended
  • Substrate: Soft sand preferred
  • Water: Clean and stable

Pair with

  • Sinking pellets / bottom feeder food
  • Fine sand substrate
  • Live plants
  • Peaceful community fish
NTA Insight:
These are often sold as “starter fish”, but they do best when treated as proper livestock — fed regularly and kept in groups. Most issues come from underfeeding, not difficulty.

FAQ

Are Peppered Corydoras good for beginners?

Yes. They are one of the most beginner-friendly catfish when kept in proper conditions.

Can I keep just one?

No. Corydoras are social fish and should be kept in groups.

Do they clean the tank?

No. They help pick at leftover food but still require proper feeding.

Do they need sand?

Soft sand is preferred to protect their barbels, though smooth substrate can also work.

Can they live in cooler water?

Yes. They tolerate slightly cooler temperatures better than many tropical fish.

I absolutely love the Saltair line of products!
Scent: Sandalwood
I used the body wash at a friend's house and fell in love, especially with the Santal Bloom scent! This body oil is just so amazing and feels so silky and soft. It's especially effective if you use it right out of the shower. It adds a beautiful glow and I even use a little in my hair. It's quite concentrated so a little goes a long way. I have even mixed it into my favorite coconut oil and it mixes beautifully. Don't sleep on this line!

Smells great
Scent: Golden Hour
Love this, my favorite scent from this line. Very subtle glitter so I still feel age appropriate. It’s an oil soy skin does feel oily for a little bit afterwards until it soaks in. It has lasted me quite awhile so I do feel it’s good value for the money. Have reordered a few times.

Great Glow and Scent, But Fades Quickly and Runs Out Fast
Scent: Vanilla
The Saltair Shimmering Body Oil in Salt Water Vanilla is a beautiful product. The only 3 reasons I don’t give it 5 stars are because: 1. The shimmer is not very long-lasting. When I apply it before bed, most of the shimmer effect is completely gone and absorbed by my sheets by the morning. I assume pants and leggings would absorb it in the same way, but I’ve only ever worn shorts after applications during the day, and even then, the shimmer seems to fade after 4–6 hours. 2. I have to apply a lot of oil to achieve the amount of shimmer I desire. It averages about 20–25 pumps per use. 3. The 4-ounce bottle size, combined with needing a lot of product for each application, means I’m going to run out of it pretty quickly. Here’s why I like this product: 1. The glow: If you’re looking for a subtle glow and a light shimmer effect, this oil is perfect for you; apply it before a night out, while wearing a swimsuit, or when going to the gym in your favorite workout set for a beautiful gleam. 2. The scent: It’s a divine, warm mix of sweet and spicy notes. It smells like vanilla, amber, and toasted marshmallow. It pairs really nicely with tropical, woodsy, sweet, or spicy perfumes—it’s very versatile. 3. Consistency and absorption: The oil absorbs nicely and has a light, runny consistency. Because it’s a dry oil, it isn’t too thick, nor does it leave a sticky feeling on the skin. 4. How my skin feels: I’ve used this oil 4 nights in a row, and every single morning I wake up, my skin feels so soft and smooth, with no residual stickiness or residue left behind.

Saltair shimmer
Scent: Sandalwood
Nice on the body. Easy to apply. I use it with my lotion for an all over glowy shimmer. It will be very nice in the summer. Nice scent, no irritation.
