Choosing cory cats for your aquarium

Compare the individual species' adult size, temperature, water requirements and tank-mate suitability. Cory catfish are social fish: plan space for an appropriate group rather than choosing a single fish simply as a bottom-dwelling addition.

Many varieties suit peaceful community aquariums when their needs match those of the other inhabitants. Smaller pygmy varieties need appropriately sized food and calm companions. Check species-specific requirements rather than applying one temperature range or tank size to the whole collection.

Substrate, shelter and feeding

Provide suitable smooth substrate, sheltered areas and space to forage. Individual listings recommend fine sand or smooth, fine gravel, with plants and driftwood offering cover. Pygmy corys may also swim through the middle of the aquarium rather than staying exclusively on the bottom.

Feed appropriately sized sinking foods and a varied diet suited to the species. Corydoras should not be expected to survive on other fishes' leftovers or act as a substitute for aquarium cleaning. Maintain clean, stable water and monitor your aquarium regularly.
