Taco Playz Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Do you guys know what most pet stores call peppered cories I was planing on getting a group of them for my 29 gallon aquarium. I was going to call them tommorow to see if they had any but I know for a fact that they don’t call them peppered cories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Here they are corydoras paleatus. I think in different locales they are different species. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 Around my area and others I've been, the ones called peppered or salt and pepper corys are the paleatus species. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larrimore Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 My local Petco has them listed as punctatus. But, looking at them, I swear they’re paleatus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoDawgsGo Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Bumping an old thread hoping for ID assistance. Local Petco had these listed as punctatus, but they look like peppered to me. Want to get more or the same when I can find some since they only had 4. TIA. I have a 75g. What size school makes them happy? 6? 9? 12? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewk Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Peppered Cory is unfortunately used for a few different varieties. One of them is Paleatus, which I think this could be. Paleatus Corydoras are also sometimes called Blue Leopards - because in certain lights they seems to have a blue sheen. If that makes sense, I would say that's what they are. I have some but mine are HiFin so I'm hesitant to say that they're 100% the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoDawgsGo Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Thanks. I'm just hoping Petco gets some more in soon that look the exact same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the different types of corydora I’ve kept prefer much larger groups. I find 12 is the minimum number to get their full behaviors to really shine. They seem to think the more the merrier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. They only had 4. Hoping to get at least 5 more or 8 more for either 9 or 12 total. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
