Quick Answers

Do Corydoras need sand?
Soft sand or smooth fine substrate is strongly recommended. Rough substrate can damage barbels and make natural foraging harder.
How many Corydoras should I keep?
Corydoras are social fish and should be kept in groups. Check each product page for species-specific group and tank size recommendations.
Are Corydoras algae eaters?
No. Corydoras are bottom foragers, not algae eaters. Feed quality sinking foods and do not rely on leftover food alone.
Can Corydoras live with shrimp?
Corydoras are generally peaceful with adult shrimp, but tiny shrimplets may still be vulnerable in any community tank. Dense cover helps.
Are Corydoras covered by the Live Arrival Guarantee?
Yes. Photograph any loss in the original sealed bag on the day of delivery and submit a claim through the Start a Claim page. Approved claims are resolved according to the Live Arrival Guarantee policy.

About This Collection

Corydoras

Corydoras are peaceful bottom-dwelling catfish loved for their social behavior, constant foraging, and gentle personality. They are a great fit for many freshwater community aquariums when kept on soft substrate with stable water and proper group size. Corydoras spend much of their time searching the bottom for food, so they should not be treated as a cleanup substitute for poor feeding or maintenance. They need sinking foods, clean substrate, and tankmates that will not outcompete or harass them. Fish require Overnight shipping and are covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee. Check each product page for adult size, group size, and tank recommendations.
