Skunk Cory Cat

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.
