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.
