Diet: Habrosus Corydoras are omnivorous bottom-dwelling fish. They have a small mouth adapted for feeding on tiny organisms and food particles. Their diet primarily consists of high-quality sinking pellets or granules specially formulated for bottom-dwelling fish. They also enjoy feeding on live or frozen foods such as bloodworms, brine shrimp, and small invertebrates. Providing a varied diet helps promote their overall health and vitality.
Temperament: Habrosus Corydoras are peaceful and have a calm and friendly temperament. They are known for their social nature and are best kept in groups of at least six individuals. They are compatible with a wide range of peaceful community fish, as they rarely exhibit aggressive behavior.
Schooling or Non-Schooling Fish: Habrosus Corydoras are schooling fish and prefer to be kept in groups. They feel more secure and confident when surrounded by their own kind. Keeping them in a group also encourages natural behavior and enhances their overall well-being.
Possible types of tank mates: Habrosus Corydoras are compatible with other small, peaceful fish species that inhabit the lower levels of the aquarium. Good tank mates include small tetras, rasboras, guppies, and other peaceful corydoras species. Avoid keeping them with larger or aggressive fish that may intimidate or harass them.
Behavior: Habrosus Corydoras are bottom-dwelling fish that spend most of their time foraging and exploring the substrate. They have a unique way of moving by using their pectoral fins to "walk" on the aquarium floor. They are excellent algae eaters and help keep the tank clean. Habrosus Corydoras are known for their playful and active nature, and they may occasionally engage in social interactions such as chasing or "dancing" with each other.
Fun Fact: Habrosus Corydoras are sometimes referred to as "Salt and Pepper Corys" due to their distinctive coloration. They have a light beige or cream-colored body with dark speckles resembling salt and pepper. This unique pattern adds visual interest to their appearance and makes them a popular choice among aquarists. Additionally, Habrosus Corydoras are known for their ability to swim upside down for short periods of time, which is an interesting behavior rarely seen in other fish species.
