Corydoras Pygmaeus 1cm Pygmy Cory Catfish

Overview: The Corydoras Pygmaeus, commonly known as the Pygmy Cory, is a small, peaceful freshwater fish. Its diminutive size, coupled with a charming personality, makes it a favorite among aquarists. They are known for their shimmering silver body with black markings and their distinctive behavior of shoaling together in groups.

Origin: Native to South America, specifically in the tributaries of the Amazon River, these fish thrive in soft, slightly acidic water with a sandy or fine gravel substrate.

Feeding: Pygmy Corys are omnivores and will readily accept a variety of foods. High-quality sinking pellets or flakes, supplemented with occasional live or frozen foods like bloodworms or brine shrimp, provide a well-rounded diet.

Tank Mates: Ideal for community tanks, Pygmy Corys get along well with other peaceful, small fish species. Good companions include small tetras, rasboras, and dwarf gouramis. Avoid housing them with large or aggressive species.

Aggression: These fish are exceptionally peaceful and pose no threat to their tank mates. They are more often the victims of aggression from larger fish rather than the perpetrators.

Experience Level: Suitable for beginners, Pygmy Corys are hardy and easy to care for, making them a great choice for those new to the hobby.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 72°F to 79°F (22°C to 26°C)
  • pH: 6.0 to 7.5
  • Hardness: 2 to 12 dGH

Regular water changes and a well-maintained tank are essential to keep these delightful little fish healthy and happy.
