- Corydoras copei are peaceful, bottom-dwelling fish ideal for community aquariums. - They are social creatures often found in groups and should be kept in schools of six or more. - These fish have a tendency to dig into the substrate, so sandy bottoms are preferable. - They are equipped with barbels that they use to search for food, and therefore they require clean water to prevent infections. - Being omnivorous, they accept a wide variety of food. A diet rich in live or frozen foods with occasional high-quality pellets and flakes is recommended.
