Notes - The Salt and Pepper Pygmy Cory is a small, peaceful bottom dwelling catfish. The name originates from the speckled patterning on the body, and the wide broken lateral bar down the sides. As one of the three more popular "pygmy" Corydoradinae, this species is commonly kept in nano aquariums.

This species is perfect for nano setups, and they are considered relatively shrimp safe.

Corydoradinae should be kept in groups of six or more on sand substrate.
