Jumbo Paleatus Cory Catfish – Premium Large “Peppered” Armored Scavenger | Fish R Us

Description

Jumbo Paleatus Cory Catfish for sale – The Metallic Workhorse of the Substrate

Strength meets shimmer. The Jumbo Paleatus Cory Catfish for sale is one of the hardiest and most enduring species in the aquarium world. Unlike juvenile corys that can be delicate, our Jumbo specimens are fully matured, boast thick “armored” plates, and show off an incredible iridescent green and bronze sheen that standard-sized fish haven’t fully developed. If you want a scavenger that is as beautiful as it is bulletproof, the Jumbo Paleatus is the king of the bottom.

Why the Fish R Us Jumbo Paleatus is a Hobbyist Favorite:

• Supersized Maturity: These are large-frame adults. They bring an immediate presence to 29-gallon to 75-gallon tanks, where smaller corys might get lost in the landscape.

• Cold-Water Tolerant: One of the few tropical fish that can thrive in slightly cooler temperatures, making them the perfect companions for Fancy Goldfish or temperate community tanks.

• Metallic Peppered Pattern: As they reach Jumbo size, their dark spotting becomes high-contrast against a body that glimmers with oil-slick greens and silvers.

• Dynamic Social Interaction: Paleatus Corys are famous for their “winking” and social huddling. In a Jumbo school, this behavior is magnified, creating a bustling, healthy environment at the sand level.

Specifications:

• Max Growth Size: Approx. 3″

• Temperament: Extremely Peaceful & Social

• Ideal Tank: 20+ Gallons (Highly adaptable to various water parameters)

• Diet: Omnivore (Sinking wafers, shrimp pellets, and live/frozen treats)
