    Hi all.

    Been looking around for small type cories that wont grow that big. Any idea what type of species that you guys can recommend? Thinking of adding a couple to my nano tank


    Advice from boss Felix

    3 cories come to mind. The typical dwarf cories are the pygmy, habrosus and hastatus. There are a few more but they are really really rare.

    Pygmy Cories are the more common types. and they're very cute, you can use them in a nanotank.

    Cant seems to find Pygmy cories in the LFS. Brought 6 Corydoras Venezuelanus instead. Cute small fellows..

    I saw some at AMK711 last week. Nice Corys.

    What do you feed them with?

    I have conditioned my Cory Sterbais to eat small sinking fish pellets. No more Tubifex for them. Before, they must insist on Tubifex and reject all other foods.

    Got Frozen Blood Worms for them but im going to use them as treats. Main diet would be carnivore pallets and algae wafer.

    I got 2 Pygmy cories (I think) for $1.20 each at C328 recently. They are in small glass tank near the counter.

    Probably similar size to C. aeneus. They should be twice the size of C. pygmaeus.
