Care requirements
Minimum tank 31 × 12 in (80 × 30 cm) or larger.
Adult size 3.0 in (75 mm), excluding the tail
Temperature 75–79°F (24–26°C)
pH 6.5–7.5
GH 4–12 dGH
Ammonia and nitrite 0 ppm
Housing & compatibility Keep six or more of the same cory. Smooth sand gives them room to sift without scraping against sharp gravel. Small, calm tetras and rasboras can share the tank if their water needs match.
Diet Put Hikari Sinking Wafers on the bottom where the group can reach them. Add a little Hikari Bio-Pure Frozen Daphnia for variety. Give corys their own food at each feeding.
Species notes The green sheen shows when the fish turn together. Leave a clear stretch of smooth substrate for the group to search for food.
