Peaceful schooling fish that should be kept together with
other peaceful fishes. The aquarium should be planted
densely. A part of the bottom of the aquarium should
be free and should be sandy because they like to search
after food in it and their tender barbels are easily
damaged. You need a powerful (peat) filter. They are very
sensitive for pollution, so a regular changing of the water
is necessary. They are omnivorous. You should give them a great variety of live, frozen and dry food. Breeding is not difficult. Just like most Corydoras a large changing of the water and lower temperatures let them spawn. After spawning the parents should be removed. The eggs are sensitive for fungus so you should add an anti-fungus medicine. After 4 days the eggs hatch and another 2 days later the young fishes are swimming free. You can raise them with fine crushed dry food and baby brine shrimp. |
