Dwarf corydoras

The Dwarf Corydoras, also known as Corydoras pygmaeus, is a small, attractive freshwater fish native to South America. Typically, these fish exhibit a silver body with a black stripe running along their sides and dorsal area, making them quite eye-catching despite their small size. They are characterized by their armored plates and barbels near the mouth, common features among Corydoras species. Dwarf Corydoras are well-regarded in the aquarium hobby due to their peaceful nature and efficiency in consuming leftover food from the bottom of the tank, making them excellent tank mates for a community aquarium. Despite their popularity, they are considered relatively easy to care for, which contributes to their appeal among both novice and experienced aquarists.
