The Corydoras Rabauti (scientific name: Corydoras rabauti), or known as Rust Corydoras and Rabaut's Corydoras, originates from the Amazon Basin, where it thrives in soft, sandy substrates with plenty of plant cover. Known for its beautiful bronze body highlighted by a distinctive orange dorsal stripe, the Rabauti Corydoras adds color and personality to any aquarium. As with other Corydoras species, Rabauti Corys are peaceful, social fish that prefer the company of their own kind and do best in groups of six or more.
Rabauti Corydoras typically grow to an adult size of around 2.4 inches (6 cm), making them ideal for small to medium-sized tanks. Their sleek, armored bodies are lined with protective scutes, and like other cory catfish, they have sensitive barbels to help them forage along the substrate for food. Their subtle yet beautiful coloration makes them a standout addition to planted and community setups.
Corydoras Rabauti are beloved for their playful and peaceful behavior. They are schooling fish and will display their most natural behaviors and best colors when kept in a group of six or more. They are compatible with a wide range of other peaceful freshwater fish, such as Tetras, Rasboras, Fancy Guppy, and Dwarf Gouramis. They also make great companions for shrimp and snails, contributing to a balanced tank ecosystem.
