Salt and pepper catfish

The Salt and Pepper Catfish, also known as Corydoras habrosus, displays a distinctive pattern reminiscent of its namesake, featuring a pale body speckled with darker spots and flecks, giving a "salt and pepper" appearance. Originating from South America's slow-moving freshwater habitats, particularly in Venezuela and Colombia, this small bottom-dweller is known for its active and peaceful nature. With a size that rarely exceeds 2.5 inches (6.4 cm), it is a popular choice among freshwater aquarium enthusiasts. Its distinct coloration, coupled with its ease of care, has made the Salt and Pepper Catfish a well-regarded species in the aquarium hobby.
