Wotroi Cory 3-4CM Like all its relatives, this fish thrives best on a soft sand substrate, allowing it to root around and forage safely without harming its barbels, which are susceptible to damage from abrasion and bacterial infections caused by waste accumulation in coarse gravel. Efficient filtration is essential, with areas of moderate water movement and adequate oxygenation. Regular upkeep, including frequent partial water changes, is necessary to maintain the health of these fish. Ensure there are plenty of shaded spots created by driftwood, rocks, and dense plantings. Being a social species, they should be housed in groups of five or more. These fish are excellent for community tanks, and they pair well with other peaceful species like smaller pencilfish, tetras, and rasboras, whose presence as dither fish in the midwater encourages the Corydoras to come into view more frequently. These fish can breathe air through their intestines, so it’s important to leave a small gap between the water’s surface and the cover slides, allowing them to surface and take in air. They may do this several times a day, depending on the temperature and oxygen levels. All sizes are approx, picture is of fish in stock
