Peppered Corydoras
Peppered corys are small, peaceful catfish that can help keep the bottom of your aquarium sparkling clean. They're also fun, interesting pets that can vocalize during courtship. Another habit they have is "winking" at their owners; their articulated eyes allow them to tilt the eye down and back up without moving the head. They get their name from the black spots that are like pepper sprinkled on their body.
Like other Corydoras catfish, this species will sometimes dart to the surface of the water to gulp air. They are able to use atmospheric oxygen for respiration, so it is normal to see them do this from time to time. Best kept in small groups, they're a great addition to a community freshwater aquarium.
