Their main food is bottom-dwelling insects and insect larvae and various worms, as well as some vegetable matter. Although no Corydoras are piscivorous , they will eat flesh from dead fishes. Their feeding method is to search the bottom with their sensory barbels and suck up food items with their mouth, often burying their snout up to their eyes.
Corydoras imitator is a foraging omnivore, and primarily feeds on zoobenthos, such as small worms, crustaceans, and insects; as well as freshwater detritus and plant matter. In the aquarium, it will readily accept most sinking dry foods, as well as live or frozen brine shrimp , bloodworms , and Tubifex worms.
The pygmy corydoras lives in a tropical climate in water with a 6.0 - 8.0 pH, [9] a water hardness of 2 – 25 dGH, [9] and a temperature range of 22–26 °C (72–79 °F). [9] It feeds on worms, benthic crustaceans, insects, and plant matter.
This is an alphabetically ordered list of Corydoras species. Each entry includes: binomial scientific name, describer and year of publication.
The 18 specimens turned out to be a new species of long-snouted Corydoras: Corydoras caramater, researchers said. The new species was distinguished in part by its “mask-like blotch ...
However, Sterba's corydoras is a hardy fish and tank bred specimens have adapted to a wider range of water conditions. However, like almost all fish it will not tolerate high levels of nitrates. Unlike some other catfish they are not good algae eaters, but are good at "cleaning up" leftover food and detritus from the substrate.
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 banded corydoras lives in a subtropical climate in water with a 6.0–8.0 pH, a water hardness of 2–25 dGH, and a temperature of 68 °F (20 °C) to 82 °F (28 °C). [2] It feeds on worms, benthic crustaceans, insects, and plant matter. It lays eggs in dense vegetation and adults do not guard the eggs.
