These might be my favorite corydoras. They are so fun to watch. They really do stick together and I love watching them swim together all over tank. The way they move its as if it is one brain controlling everyones actions. I'm loving these species spotlights. You have some really interesting and not as commonly kept fish.
I keep 12 species of nano fish and truly pigmy corys are my favorite, even my girlfriend who thought they were a bit ugly fell in love so bad with them she wants to have one aquarium only with them! they may look a bit dull compared to others but their behavior is something to be witnessed, and the more you look at them the cutter they look, they lay down on your plants, rocks, swim with other species, shool then go on their own, really, you can take every single word from Rachel on this one, well, for what I have seen on her channel, you can take her word in all cases ;)
I just got 6 of them today - and they're TINY!!! Absolutely charming critters, though... My only regret about them? Not getting more of them! My tank isn't huge, but I could have gotten a dozen and it would have been fine. (105 litres / 28 gallons, so it's not a nano tank - but I like the look of tiny nano fish in schools and none of my fish are more than an inch at present.)
I had pygmy cories for several years and while they were adorable, they were EXTREMELY shy. They were in a 10 gal planted tank with fish no bigger than guppies and a few amano shrimp. I always had groups of at least 10 of them, and the tank chemistry was perfect. They lived a long time, but they were always hiding. I could only get a glance at them if I hid, basically. They never came up into the mid water, really, but did snuffle around the bottom. I'm considering getting some more because they're just so cute, but I'm wondering if you have any advice for combatting that shyness.
I love these little guys. They are too adorable. I started out with 8 and now I'm down to 4. 4 of them where very chewed up when I go them home. I tried to treat them and 4 didnt make it they where pretty sick. I do drip acclimation on all my fish I know it's Overkill. Less stress. The lights in the room are off and to the tank as well. I have noticed its less stressful for the fish and it has cut down the rate of ich out breaks. Yes every new fish goes in my QT tank. Again thank you for all you share.
I just got 6 of these for my 15g white cloud/male betta tank. They're so cute. I may have provided too many caves because I never see more than 3 at a time.
Rachael, I saw the video with LupDiesel and you described how to get the best interaction between placement of plant and fish. Have you taught of doing a series explaining how to achieve this? Roberto
Rachel, your video content is great. Only suggestion I have is to get a better mic for your camera. But the content itself is very educational and I've been loving watching all of them! Subscribed to your channel.
I received a school of 13 for my 29 gallon planted tank yesterday. I just set up this tank about a month ago, and these are the first fish to go in it. They are adorable. Within a few hours there were several groups of them playing. So fun to watch. When I was unboxing them, there was one that looked very pale. Last night I spotted it in the tank laying up against a plant and I was sure it hadn't made it. I got a net to pull it out, and it scooted away weakly. So I decided to leave it and check on it today. This morning it is not looking great, but trying to swim with the others - so I shall just keep an eye on it. The thing is, it is not just pale. It is a white fish? Definitely a pygmy cory - but white. Have you gotten white ones in with your shipments before?
Love the videos, great job. Great podcast interview with the king. It was really cool, wish it was longer. Seemed like the two of you were having a blast.
Bit of a late comment, but I've been breeding these guys for a few years now. I've never witnessed the adults consuming the eggs. Wondering if you've seen it yourself or just take precautionary measures when breeding due to other species of corys consuming their spawn?
Thank you for this video I was just at my LPS and I spotted them. I asked the salesmen what they were when I saw them. I once picked up what I thought was emerald eye rasporas, got them home acclimatized them and after an hour in the tank I realized they were not rasporas but neon tetras that were kept so badly their color had faded! So now I always make a habbit of asking the sales person what they are instead of assuming for myself off or the tags from the tank. They's only been in there an hour or so but I'm so glad to have them!
I'd love to see a video on corydoras haststus--I'm absolutely obsessed but they are proving nearly impossible to find :(. Could I keep any of these species with my little female betta? I haven't had her long enough to know how aggressive she is but I just kinda fell in love with her at my LFS. She REALLY wanted out of her cup lol. I also purchased this sad little oto I found all alone because I knew from your previous video how crucial it is they be kept in large groups and as soon as I see some healthy ones Im going to get at least 9 more. I only have a 10 gallon right now but that might change in the future. Can these fish get along in your expirience? anything else you suggest I look into? thanks so much--you are my absolute favorite you tuber!
Elspeth Furey hi, I have 6 of these corys with my male betta in a 10g tank and my betta gets along fine with them! I'm sure it would be the same with a female
Hi Rachel, Awesome video(like always). I have a 20 gallon tank with 11 guppies and 10 red cherry shrimps and I want to find out if I could add at least 6 pygmy cories? if not how many could I add ? I just wanted to have the proper amount of cories for them to feel safe. I will also be removing any guppy fry
Hey Rachel! Great stuff as usual. Any possibility on a Green Cory Spotlight? I have a small school of 7 I would like to learn more about. Thanks! Keep upt the good work!
Hi Rachel. Did you say you add fruitwood? Could you elaborate on safe types of wood you add? Wish I could order from you here in Canada. Great work developing yoyr channel, I've been watching it grow.
Hi Rachel. Hope you are having a good week. We have some of these adorable little guys and are looking for tank mates for them. You suggest tetras but what other fish would be okay with them in your opinion.
iury1986 Thanks. We have got them some new tank mates. Zebra and Leopard danios and wcmm. They are so cute. They swim with the shoals. They prefer the Zebras and there is one Minnow who hangs out with them because he is still a baby and they are the same size. Hope you have got your leak sorted. Have a good week.
Hi Rachel great videos as always. I was wondering if you can do a specie spotlight on the Scarlet Badis and if you have successfully breed them and if so can you share any tips and tricks 😊😊😊
i didn't do my research so I originally bought 3 but one died a month later looked like a fat lump in his stomach so dont think it was anything disease related, but the other two remaining have started schooling with the 4 african dwarf frogs. Its the weirdest and cutest thing ever. The betta would always chase after the cory then one day one of the frogs stepped in and smacked a betta upside his face and the two species have been cool ever since. sometimes they'll follow the frog around the tank eat algea of its back and sometimes the frogs will will play hop scotch on em. But anytime the betta comes around the frogs will surround the cories and start smacking a betta.
What would be the absolute minimum of them I could have together? I don't currently have the filtration for too many more fish in the aquarium but would like to have them as scavengers. The other tank mates would be 2 apistogramma agassizii and 5-6 neon tetras
Is it dirt or some kind of skin disease on some of that little guys? How many of them would you stock in a 60 gallon biotop style species tank? I would like to set up a new tank with sand, rock, driftwood and only some plants for a cory/aspidoras species that uses more than just the bottom of the tank - and the pygmy is the only one available here (I love my Aspidoras pauciradiatus - but only got 9 of them and don´t get more of them for my project..). Can you take I vid of your huge corys swarms someday?
It's air bubbles from filling the container to film. As for stocking density it would depend on what else is in there though I would not do less than 20 for good behavior
+Rachel O'leary Nothing else :-) Maybe a small group of Nannostomus or bigger cory, but only if it looks to empty. I will have a strong water flow from two internal fluval filters, I am sure they will enjoy it ;-)
I keep mine with kuhli loaches and two bristlenoses. That's right, no tetras, no rasboras, no danios. Such an entertaining tank. 600 at a time... do they go all in one tank-what size? That must be great fun!
thanks for the video. can you please cover the other dwarf Cory species? a comparison on water column use, ease of care, and compatibility with shrimp would be awesome.
Hi, it's me again. I have 2 of these in my 9 gallon. My problem is that I have a betta that always eats their food. I don't know what to do. I have fed them fresh blanched veggies like zucchini and that's the only way they get to eat! The betta will try to tear off pieces of that too but I put enough pieces in that's not a problem. But they can't just keep eating veggies can they?
Why not get one of those net breeders that folks hang on the inside of the tank for gravid females? It can be a little time out corner for your betta while the cories eat.
I recently bought flourite black to experiment and then founding out that they're fairly sharp. I am thinking of having half the tank with flourite and the other half with sand. Will the cories b hurting themselves by constantly going to the flourite or will they stick to the sand portion of the tank? Please advise.
It depends on which species of cory but providing that sand area is a great idea. You may find over time that the substrates mix despite your best intentions unless you use a substrate support to seperate them.
+Michael Wells I buy them out of Colombia. I do sell them, but am out of stock this week. I am hoping to get more to come in Sunday and start their QT.
@@RachelOLeary aww, thanks for letting me know tho! I really appriciate it! Would salt and pepper ones be a better micro sand sifter then? Trying to find somone to pic up leftover bloodworms lol
I'm trying to figure out if my 12 pygmys or my 4 Mexican Dwarf Crawfish are to blame for eating off over 60red cherry shrimp and all the babies that were with at least 20 of the shrimp... and one of my Crawfish had babies to then they were gone... either way my fault for blending the 3 in the tank
I've heard people (on your channel I think) say that cories can produce some toxin if startled. curious if that toxin effects other fish in a community aquarium
Rachel O'leary what do you recommend feeding the Habrosus? Right now I have Omega One Freshwater flakes, Aquarium Co-op small fry food and Fluval bug bites tropical small fish food. Would any of these work or would you recommend something else?
I'm a huge cory fan. You can see all 7 species in my 55g, but I'm breeding pygmy corys in my 25g fluval flex. Check it out and give me some tips to induce breeding. I've already done some things, but I'm no expert and always appreciate feedback/tips....great video and pygmy corys rule. I've got 5 right now because one was DOA. In a matter of days I'll have 19 in there. Itsxa mature tank with tons of biomedia and I even added a sponge filter for extra biological filtration
Rachel O'Leary, I was planning on getting some cories to put in my 5 gal, with my Betta, and some in my 20 gal, but with the numbers you're throwing out that's definitely NOT going to happen. When I was younger and didn't have all these health problems, I had a 30 gal,29 gal, several 20 gal, several 10 gal, a 5 gal ( hospital tank ) and a 1 gal ( nursery ) and a 55 gal. Now I only had gravel in my tanks, all of my tanks had goldfish, except the 55 it was a community tank. In my 29 gal my Cories spawned and the eggs were on a rock so just put the rock in the nursery and they hatched. Back in the 80's we never heard about cycling the tank and all the new rules out now, I never had any problems...............

i adore my pygmy corys. currently have a school of 8, and plan on getting more. love seeing them hang out on the white sand with my cherry shrimp
would they be okay in carpet plants?

I have just discovered 3 juvenile cory cats in my 70gal. Nice videos Rachel. I can hardlly wait from one to another.
Would love to see a video the next time you get 200 of them to watch them swim together. I bet it's a sight to see!
+Eric Gjersvold +1 Pygmy bait ball! Lol, would absolutely LOVE to see that
I am going to start breeding one of the three small species, and I will make a giant swarm
I just got 6 of them today - and they're TINY!!! Absolutely charming critters, though...

Keep up the awesome videos.
Casualty of being human haha
haha that's right, at least now we know that you're not a vlog robot :)
+Rachel O'leary should I put these in my 15 litre aquascape, or some salt and pepper Corydoras?
Jacob Cudmore
15 litres is pretty small, i cannot answer without knowing more about it
+Rachel O'leary don't worry I bought a 40 litre on the weekend, that I'm wanting to put some cichlids into. 40 Litres is 10 US gallons
This gave me great info on these adorable little corydoras. Thank you so much.

Are they a good size for the tank?
Rachel, your video content is great. Only suggestion I have is to get a better mic for your camera. But the content itself is very educational and I've been loving watching all of them! Subscribed to your channel.
For now, new equipment is not in the budget, though folks are welcome to donate. I will focus on fish and content and upgrade equipment as I can.

+Abelation Gorgoro yes I think so, as long as you have a plan for guppy fry
Sounds good. Thank you so much. You have an awsome channel.
Hi Rachael,
Great info!
Was wondering if a 5 gal long tank would be too small for 10 of these corries. Thanks.
thats way to small i say 10 gallon minimum for any corys and a 20 gal can hold 10
Thanks
Hey Rachel! Great stuff as usual. Any possibility on a Green Cory Spotlight? I have a small school of 7 I would like to learn more about. Thanks! Keep upt the good work!
Hi Rachel.
Did you say you add fruitwood? Could you elaborate on safe types of wood you add? Wish I could order from you here in Canada. Great work developing yoyr channel, I've been watching it grow.
+slipper409 I can ship rock to canada, not sure about wood yet! Fruitwoods are generally hardwoods, so hold up well.

Hi Rachel great videos as always. I was wondering if you can do a specie spotlight on the Scarlet Badis and if you have successfully breed them and if so can you share any tips and tricks 😊😊😊
I got 10 of em and as soon as I got home I regretted not getting 20.
I am so glad you did this video thanks for the great info and video clips
Hi Rachel
I was woundering what do you think about adding these pygmaeus corydoras in a 15g tank along with a kribensis couple?
Thanks for the video!
+miguel pedro it could work, or the kribs could harass. Worth trying though if you have a back up plan for the pygmies
Ok, I'll give it a try, thank you for the fast response :)
Thanks for the video. Good job.
Can i use them to eat planeria off glass of my dwarf shrimp tank ? Will they eat my baby dwarf shrimp ?
are they good to keep in a tank of plenty red cherry shrimps and 11 otocinclus? My tank is 100Liters medium planted.
i didn't do my research so I originally bought 3 but one died a month later looked like a fat lump in his stomach so dont think it was anything disease related, but the other two remaining have started schooling with the 4 african dwarf frogs.

Rachel you should have way more subs you have so many great videos and put in so much effort love your vids keep up the GREAT work =) =) =)
aw thanks! I am stoked at reaching 20k in one year of regular content :) Onward and upward :)
Love your videos! Hopefully I will get to order some of these guys.

Erika Nucci just in case no one else answers, i'd say 6 is bare minimum, but im by no means an expert so continue to do research! 😊
i want some pygmy cories and some chili rasboras ,but how much can i put 2 of them in a 13 gallon tank
Where do you get them cheap? So hard to find. I finally found here in Canada for $12.99 CAD each
Is it dirt or some kind of skin disease on some of that little guys? How many of them would you stock in a 60 gallon biotop style species tank? I would like to set up a new tank with sand, rock, driftwood and only some plants for a cory/aspidoras species that uses more than just the bottom of the tank - and the pygmy is the only one available here (I love my Aspidoras pauciradiatus - but only got 9 of them and don´t get more of them for my project..).

Also can these cory be in tanks with platy,molly,ect ? mine is going well with them they do somtimes nibble on it for a second or two
I love these guys!
Hi dude
Hi dude
They are 6 /7 $ per fish in Denmark. I just got 6 of them about 0.5 inch size. They are so cute
+Tanya schlünsen love Then! So wiggly! Congrats
I recently bought flourite black to experiment and then founding out that they're fairly sharp. I am thinking of having half the tank with flourite and the other half with sand. Will the cories b hurting themselves by constantly going to the flourite or will they stick to the sand portion of the tank? Please advise.
It depends on which species of cory but providing that sand area is a great idea. You may find over time that the substrates mix despite your best intentions unless you use a substrate support to seperate them.
Rachel O'leary I'm thinking of using river rocks to separate them. In terms of which Cory, I am thinking of pygmy
How big do they get and where do you get yours. I can't find any here in Chicago. Do you sell them?
+Michael Wells I buy them out of Colombia. I do sell them, but am out of stock this week. I am hoping to get more to come in Sunday and start their QT.
One of my favorites along with corydoras habrosus
Do Pygmy Cories dig in sand like regular cories do?
not generally
$2 to $4 each in USA maybe but in australia $10 each is considered a bargin.
I have a problem with adopting cory to my aquarium and have no idea why.
Are these "Pygmy cory" hardy fish i have a albino cory and ist hardy
love these little guys
Hi Rachel..where is the best place to order these corys online?...Thank you.
Do these guys get along with guppies
yes
Awesome video!
That hat looked good on you Rachel. 😂😊
I have 5 gallon Fluval spec 5 how many Cory Pygmy can I have?
Do they also release toxins when stressed or in fight or flight like other corys?
Not in my experience. Ime, that is the cories with the orange pectorals mainly
Would Pygmies and Pandas do ok together?
Will they still sift sand? Like in a beneficial manner like other cories
No. Not really
@@RachelOLeary aww, thanks for letting me know tho! I really appriciate it! Would salt and pepper ones be a better micro sand sifter then? Trying to find somone to pic up leftover bloodworms lol
Yea they would do a better job but still dont really shift sand
They don’t eat the eggs or fry, makes it very easy to breed. Great video I’m subbed🙂👍🏻
I LOVE these guys!!!
It's $15 each here in Australia.
Feeding them grindal worms is good and white worms are hilarious because they are almost the same size and they still try to eat them
They really resemble some otocinclus fish.
if i got them to spawn what would i feed the fry?. micro worms?
+niko microworms, filter squeezings, rotifers all work well
Can someone list me the names of food they need ?
+steven hansen meaty pellets or frozen food like worms, baby brine, etc
I'm trying to figure out if my 12 pygmys or my 4 Mexican Dwarf Crawfish are to blame for eating off over 60red cherry shrimp and all the babies that were with at least 20 of the shrimp... and one of my Crawfish had babies to then they were gone... either way my fault for blending the 3 in the tank
Deff the crawfish is a killer
I've heard people (on your channel I think) say that cories can produce some toxin if startled. curious if that toxin effects other fish in a community aquarium
+northface9 in my experience, it is not a problem (probably because of the dilution)
Out of all the dwarf corys which do you find to be the most fun?
I like pygmaeus and habrosus best
Rachel O'leary what do you recommend feeding the Habrosus? Right now I have Omega One Freshwater flakes, Aquarium Co-op small fry food and Fluval bug bites tropical small fish food. Would any of these work or would you recommend something else?
the bug bites should be ok. I don't know what is in the co-op food. I also like to use frozen foods like daphnia/cyclopeez
Rachel O'leary thanks so much!!
My tank is 20c (68F) so probably too cold :/
Rachael.... ever notice that every fish is one of your favorites??? It's a disease!!!! I'm glad I only have 5 tanks! So far!
Hahahah. Yes
I'm a huge cory fan. You can see all 7 species in my 55g, but I'm breeding pygmy corys in my 25g fluval flex. Check it out and give me some tips to induce breeding. I've already done some things, but I'm no expert and always appreciate feedback/tips....great video and pygmy corys rule. I've got 5 right now because one was DOA. In a matter of days I'll have 19 in there. Itsxa mature tank with tons of biomedia and I even added a sponge filter for extra biological filtration
What a fanciful way to say corydoras .. Cory-uh-doras
Rachel O'Leary, I was planning on getting some cories to put in my 5 gal, with my Betta, and some in my 20 gal, but with the numbers you're throwing out that's definitely NOT going to happen. When I was younger and didn't have all these health problems, I had a 30 gal,29 gal, several 20 gal, several 10 gal, a 5 gal ( hospital tank ) and a 1 gal ( nursery ) and a 55 gal. Now I only had gravel in my tanks, all of my tanks had goldfish, except the 55 it was a community tank. In my 29 gal my Cories spawned and the eggs were on a rock so just put the rock in the nursery and they hatched. Back in the 80's we never heard about cycling the tank and all the new rules out now, I never had any problems...............
Another 5 star video!
thanks!
What are the 3 other pygmy species?
Corydoras habrosus, Corydoras hastatus, and I consider Aspidoras pauciradiatus to be one.
Thanks for the reply. Ive been going through all your vids. Recently got into the aquarium hobby!
welcome!
Wow yours are nice
I had a pet store sell me some as oto cats. I had to correct them and fill them in. I did get my 8 oto cats. I almost kept these guys. I should have.
I would like to put 2 pygmy corys and 2 hesbrosus corys.
In my 5.5 gallon.
habrosus. i keep habrosus too i got 7 of them and 3 hara hara
ps Mean't to mention tgat they would be the only fish in the 5 gal tank.
I got some for $2 a piece at Petco 😎
