Husbandry Information | |
Feeding | This species will eat just about any food that sinks down to their level. Flake foods and sinking pellets/wafers make up a good staple diet, for these fish. Frozen and live foods are great as treats. User data. |
Furniture | Hiding places in the form of caves, driftwood, and plants are appreciated. As these catfish sometimes cavort out in the open, open swimming space is necessary. |
Compatibility | Very peaceful fish, and will never bother a tankmate. They are completely harmless. |
Suggested Tankmates | Avoid large or aggressive fish which are not good tankmates for any Corydoras. Small plecos, tetras and dwarf cichlids are good tankmates. |
Breeding | This cory spawns the way most corys do. The pair will adopt the ''T'' position, and the female will gather eggs and sperm. Then, she swims to a flat, clean surface (usually the glass), and deposits the eggs. This is repeated numerous times. |
Breeding Reports | There is no breeding report. |
