Like many other Corydoras species, the panda catfish is a highly gregarious fish, and in common with several other smaller Corydoras species such as C. habrosus and C. pygmaeus, manifests a distinct need for numerous companions of its own species in order to thrive, and can thus be described as being more avowedly social than some of the larger ...
Corydoras pygmaeus, or the pygmy corydoras or pygmy catfish [1] is a tropical and freshwater fish belonging to the subfamily Corydoradinae of the family Callichthyidae. It originates in tropical inland waters in South America , and is found in the Madeira River basin in Brazil .
The fish is typically found in streams with water current. It will grow in length up to 1.9 inches (4.9 centimeters). It lives in a tropical climate in water with a 6.0 – 8.0 pH, a water hardness of 2 – 25 dGH, and a temperature range of 68 – 77 °F (20 – 26 °C). It feeds on worms, benthic crustaceans, insects, and plant matter. It ...
The dwarf corydoras lives in a (sub)tropical climate in water with a 6.0–8.0 pH, a water hardness of 5–19 dGH, and a temperature range of 68–82 F (20–28 °C). [1] It is found in ponds. [1] It feeds on worms, benthic crustaceans, insects, and plant matter. They are found in the Paraguay River and Amazon River basins.
Researchers examined 17 specimens to identify the new species, they said. Corydoras colossus was distinguished from other types of armored catfish by “mosaic-like” platelets covering the front ...
The spotted corydoras, longnose corydoras or Agassiz's catfish (Corydoras ambiacus) is a tropical freshwater fish belonging to the subfamily Corydoradinae of the family Callichthyidae. It originates in inland waters in South America and is found in the upper Amazon River basin in Brazil , Colombia and Peru .
Corydoras paleatus is found in the Amazon basin, [1] and feeds on worms, crustaceans, insects, and plant matter.
