Griseu Cory Cat
Corydoras Griseus
The Griseus Cory Cat comes from the tributaries of the Amazon river and is a peaceful bottom dwelling scavenger. The Griseus Cory Cat requires a well planted aquarium with plenty of hiding places that provide relief from the light. A smooth sand or gravel substrate is needed because of the easily damaged barbells. They enjoy being in numbers, so a small school of six or more is ideal for these cats.
Breeding the Griseus Cory Cat is relatively easy if kept in a large enough school to allow the cats to pair off. The water needs to be slightly acidic, and within the ideal temperature range. Sudden decrease in temperature has been shown to spark the Griseus to spawn. This can be induced by a 20% water change with the added water being a few degrees cooler than the aquarium water. Remove all fry after they have become waterborne and feed with baby brine shrimp.
The Griseus Cory Cat is omnivorous and will require a well balanced diet including dried, flake, frozen, and live foods. Feed a quality flake and pellet food as well as frozen brine and live worms
