About This Collection

Corydoras

Corydoras are peaceful social catfish that spend much of their time foraging along the bottom. This collection includes Pygmy, Panda, Black Venezuelan, Orange Venezuelan, Orange Laser, and other Cory types. Keep Corydoras in a proper group and provide enough bottom footprint for the species. Fine sand or another smooth, non-abrasive substrate is preferred, and Corydoras should be fed directly with sinking foods rather than expected to live on leftovers. Fish ship Monday through Wednesday via Overnight / Next Day Air.
