Introducing the Pygmy Corydoras - The Perfect Nano Catfish for Your Aquarium!
Discover the enchanting beauty of the Pygmy Corydoras (Corydoras Pygmaeus), a delightful species native to the Rio Basin in Brazil. These nano catfish are the ideal addition to your small-scale aquarium, thanks to their compact size and captivating schooling behavior, reminiscent of other corydoras catfish. With their sleek and classic catfish appearance, they are sure to be a stunning centerpiece in any aquatic environment.
The Pygmy Corydoras boasts a shimmering silver hue, accentuated by a striking black line that gracefully traverses the center of its body. This elegant coloration not only adds visual appeal but also makes them stand out in the aquarium. With a maximum size of just over an inch, these charming catfish are perfectly suited for nano tanks and serve as remarkable community fish for aquariums housing similar-sized companions.
These catfish thrive in the company of their own kind, and to ensure their comfort and well-being, it is recommended to keep them in groups of at least 5 or more. Their schooling behavior not only enhances their natural instincts but also provides an intriguing display of synchronized movements and social interaction.
Pygmy Corydoras may initially exhibit shyness, which makes it essential to provide appropriate tank mates and a well-designed habitat. With a diverse range of companions of similar size and activity level, your aquarium will come alive with harmonious underwater dynamics.
To ensure optimal health and vitality, we meticulously feed our Pygmy Corydoras a nutritious blend of frozen foods, including daphnia, baby brine, and cyclops. Additionally, we occasionally provide them with Northfin Veggie and algae wafers, catering to their dietary needs. They are also known to readily accept live foods if appropriately prepared.
At our facility, we prioritize the well-being of our fish, and that's why we offer a 100% Live Arrival Guarantee when shipping with our Overnight (1 Day) option. Please note that this guarantee becomes void when choosing any other shipping option.
Don't miss the opportunity to bring the captivating Pygmy Corydoras into your nano aquarium. Watch them flourish as they gracefully navigate their environment, creating a harmonious underwater landscape that is sure to captivate both seasoned aquarists and newcomers alike. Order your Pygmy Corydoras today and experience the wonder of these remarkable nano catfish firsthand!
