Housing & compatibility Keep at least six of the same species in a mature planted tank with smooth sand and calm tankmates. Leave open space at the front where they can forage.
Diet Break Hikari Sinking Wafers into very small pieces and use a little Hikari Bio-Pure Frozen Daphnia for variety. Get some food down to the group even when they’re swimming higher in the tank.
Species notes Pygmy corys swim in the middle of the tank as well as along the sand. Keep them in a group and offer food small enough to reach them in both places.
