Pigmy Corydoras

Description

Its very peaceful, but doesnt make an ideal community fish due to its small adult size. Its easily intimidated by larger tank mates and wont compete well for food with them. Many fish often kept in community aquaria, such as angelfish, gouramis and larger catfish will also find it an ideal snack. Keep it alone or in a community of other tiny species, such as similarly sized characins, cyprinids or perhaps some small freshwater shrimp. It also makes an ideal dither species for Apistogramma and other dwarf cichlids, as it tends to inhabit the middle levels of the tank.
