Origin

South America; Palespotted corydoras are found in small creeks in Brazil.

Sexing

Females tend to have a plumper body shape and will be slightly larger than the males.

Breeding

Large, regular water changes are believed to induce the spawning. Add fine leaved plants to the tank to give them a spawning site, they may decide to lay their eggs on the tank glass. The eggs should hatch after 7 days, feed the fry on Infusoria initially and as they grow, feed with micro worms or newly hatched brine shrimp.

Lifespan

The expected life span for Palespotted corydoras is 3-5 years.

Short description

As will all Corydoras, Corydoras gossei need to be kept in groups of at least 5 fish. They need a soft substrate or smooth gravel to prevent barbel damage and are a very peaceful species.
