Special requirements

  • Increased Water Current

    Native to whitewater areas of the Rio Negro, this species appreciates moderate water currents more than most other Corydoras.

  • Sandy Substrate

    Thrives best on fine sandy substrates to prevent barbel erosion and facilitate natural sifting behaviors.

  • Surface Feeding Access

    Known for energetic bursts to the surface to feed; ensure the tank has open surface access and a secure lid.

  • Fry Rearing

    Fry require specialized small foods like microworms starting 3-4 days post-hatching and should be separated from adults to prevent predation.
