OVERVIEW

The Pygmy Corydora is a tropical and freshwater fish that originates from the tropical inland waters in South America, and is found in the Madeira River basin in Brazil. 

Pygmy Corydoras are very peaceful and won’t start any fights. If tank mates are peaceful too, there should not be any compatibility problems. The only exceptions to this are large species, as Pygmy Cory is small so could easily fit in a bigger fish’s mouth. The mouths of tank mates should be smaller than an inch.

Scientific Name: Corydoras pygmaeus
