Its charming appearance, with a silver body and dark markings, brings a unique aesthetic to the tank. These bottom dwellers are known for their playful behavior and are often seen rummaging through the substrate.

Origin: Native to South America, particularly in the waterways of Peru and Ecuador, Corydoras Nanus thrives in river basins with plenty of vegetation and soft substrates.

Feeding: Omnivorous by nature, they readily accept a variety of foods. A balanced diet for them should include high-quality sinking pellets, flakes, and occasional treats like frozen or live brine shrimp and bloodworms.
