Corydoras ephippifer is an active bottom dweller and is known for its unique 'saddle' marking. It is a peaceful species, making it suitable for community tanks. They should be kept in groups due to their social nature and can help keep aquariums clean by sifting through the substrate. Provide a sandy or fine gravel substrate to prevent damage to their barbels.
