Care & Habitat

Habrosus Pygmy Corys prefer a soft, sandy substrate to protect their delicate barbels and a well-covered, dimly lit aquarium. Keep with gentle, non-aggressive tank mates in a quiet community setup. They enjoy plenty of hiding spots among plants, driftwood, and gentle filtration. Water should be warm and clean, with soft to moderately soft conditions and a near-neutral to slightly acidic pH. Regular partial water changes help keep them healthy. Provide a group of at least 4-6 so they feel secure and display their best schooling behavior.

Diet & Feeding

They are omnivores. Offer sinking pellets or wafers, complemented with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp or daphnia, and occasional vegetables. Feed small amounts 2-3 times daily, removing any uneaten food to maintain water quality. They will nibble leftovers and actively graze the substrate, helping to keep the tank clean.

Who is this fish for?

If you want a tiny, peaceful addition to a community tank or a dedicated nano setup, Habrosus Pygmy Cory is ideal. They pair well with small tetras, rasboras, nano gouramis, and other peaceful species. They also excel in planted tanks with a soft substrate and ample hiding places. This species is an excellent choice for beginners and experienced hobbyists alike who want a calm, entertaining bottom-deller.
