Pygmaeus Cory's?

[Joeyg2100]

I have heard that these tiny cory's do not eat fish eggs or fry. Does anyone on here have any experence with these little guys

Have you seen the size of them? - there is no way they could eat anything but the tinyest of eggs or fry

they max out at about an inch.

Yes, these small corys look great in a large shoal and are worthy inhabitants of
smaller tanks. They are one of the easiest of the Corydoras species to breed
and the smallest along with Corydoras Nanus.

Hi. Just a slight correction. The other "pygmy" Corys are C. hastatus and C. habrosus. "True" C. nanus have not been seen in the aquarium hobby for well over 2 decades. - Frank

Is the minimum shoal size 3, as with other cory species? and should the be treated in exactly the same way (with regards to tank design, feeding, tankmates etc) Sorry Joey for asking questions on your thread, I didn't think that starting a new one was sensible!

 

[richchappy]

what do you think of a small shoal of these in a breeding tank as a clean up crew

 

[Sibelius]

Cory's aren't clean up as such. I'd use otos.
