Overview
A large growing and impressively marked Cory Cat, the Bearded or Barbatus Cory is found in several rivers near Rio de Janeiro in Southeastern Brazil. With their large adult size and vivid black-and-gold pattern, this species is deservedly popular for medium to large community aquariums and like most Corydoras and close relatives, will do best in groups of five or more. This species is much more cold tolerant than many other tropical fish, and prefer temperatures in 20-24c range.
