Pygmy Corydoras (Tank-Bred)

To protect our animals and to ensure they get to our customers healthy, we will only ship orders with Nano Fish via UPS Next Day Air.

Pygmy Corydoras are absolutely one of our favorite small fish. If you're looking for a cute, small, schooling fish, these guys are for you! These Pygmy Corydoras we sell are bred in captivity by hobbyist and are not wild-caught. This means that they come from a sustainable source and are typically much hardier compared to wild-caught Pygmy Corydoras. Due to their smaller size and adorable schooling behavior, these fish have become pretty sought after in the hobby. They are a smaller fish and can grow to a a max size at about 1 inch which makes them perfect for shrimp tank. 

We recommend keeping these guys in groups of 5 or more for them to feel safe in a large school.  

Pygmy Corydoras are pretty easy to care as long as they are introduced to a mature, cycled tank. They can acclimate to a wide range of parameters.  The following are our water parameters we keep them at:
