Aquarium setup and care

Use an established aquarium with fine sand, sheltered resting places, and gentle filtration. Plants and shaded areas help small fish settle in. Keep an open feeding area so you can check that every fish is eating.

Keep ammonia and nitrite at zero, perform regular partial water changes, and remove uneaten food. Corys require their own balanced diet; leftover food and algae are not sufficient.

Diet and feeding

Offer tiny sinking pellets, finely crushed suitable prepared foods, and small frozen foods such as baby brine shrimp or daphnia. Match food size to the fish’s mouth and provide its own meals.

Compatibility

Choose small, calm fish that will not crowd the feeding area. Avoid predators and persistent fin nippers. Exact species matters: ordinary albino Bronze Corys grow much larger than dwarf Corys, so ask us to confirm this stock if planning a nano aquarium.
