Corydoras paleatus (Peppered Cory)<br />
the three peppered Cory's in this video have been around. The youngest is 11 years old. It's the offspring of one of the other two, the sibling sisters known as "the girls". The Girls were at their maximum size when I got them twelve years ago, making them a minimum of 13 years old.</div>

There is poor drainage, allowing water to pool and mosquitos to flourish. Lastly, the house requires a wheelchair ramp. We have volunteers willing to put in the time and labour, but we need help gathering the funds for materials.
