About this item ‚úÖ The Pygmy Corydoras is a great nano catfish endemic to the Rio Basin in Brazil. These catfish are great additions to nano aquariums do to their small size and schooling behavior like other corydoras catfish ‚úÖ Traditionally, just one type of small Corydoras was considered to exist (Corydoras hastatus). However, the Pygmy Cory variety was identified in the early 1900s after discovering that several varieties had been misinterpreted ‚úÖ They are silver in color with one black line through the center of the body. Pygmy Corydoras can be shy so they need appropriate tank mates and should be kept in groups of at least 5 or more ‚úÖ Pygmy Corydoras often max out in size of just over an inch and are a great community fish for aquariums with fish of similar size and activity level ‚úÖ We feed our Pygmy Corydoras a mix of frozen foods including daphnia, baby brine and cyclops.
