Pygmy Corydoras

The Pygmy Corydoras (Corydoras pygmaeus) is a charming, micro-sized catfish perfect for nano tanks and peaceful community setups. Unlike most Corydoras, these active little fish not only explore the bottom but also midwater levels, making them a lively and engaging addition to any aquarium.

With their small size, silvery bodies, and black horizontal stripes, Pygmy Corys are ideal for planted aquariums and thrive in groups of six or more, where their natural schooling behaviour can truly shine. Despite their tiny stature, they are hardy, peaceful, and easy to care for – great for beginners and experienced aquarists alike.
