Corydoras are tropical fish of the family Calycthidae (catfish) and genus Corydoras, native to the Amazon River basin in South America. In this article, I would like to explain in detail the characteristics of the corydoras and how to keep them.
What is Corydoras?
The corydoras is a tropical fish in the catfish family Calycthidae. Corydoras originate from the Amazon River basin in South America.Corydoras, like catfish, are characterized by having their mouths on the underside in order to feed on moss and other debris attached to rocks and walls. Because they use their distinctive mouths to remove debris and moss, corydoras, like plecos, have long been useful as trash collectors in aquariums. Corydoras means "helmet-like skin" in Greek. The head of the corydoras is covered with a helmet-like skull, hence the name corydoras.

How to keep corydoras
Corydoras can be an easy breed to keep. The lifespan of the corydoras is approximately 3-5 years. Their body size is approximately 4 to 6 cm. However, both lifespan and body size vary depending on the environment in which they are kept and the food they are fed. They prefer slightly acidic to slightly alkaline water with a pH range of 6.0 to 8.0. Angelfish are classified as tropical fish, so they require a heater in winter if kept in Japan.
A heater is a device that maintains a constant water temperature. If you go to a specialty store that carries heaters, you will find a wide variety of types. Some people may be at a loss as to which one to choose. In this article, we would like to explain about such heaters [...]
Points to keep in mind when mixing swimmers
Corydoras are relatively quiet and timid. Therefore, they can be mixed with other species. Corydoras are often found in areas such as behind rocks or in grassy areas, so please make sure to provide them with a place to hide in your aquarium.Recommended species for mixing with Corydoras are small fish such as neon tetras and other calasin species and red fin fish. If the species you choose to mix with Corydoras is territorial or aggressive, the Corydoras may be beaten up and become injured or even sick due to stress.

Points about spawning
Many people who keep corydoras want to breed them. Breeding corydoras is relatively easy. If you keep a certain number of corydoras and make a pair, they may lay eggs on the surface of the aquarium or on aquatic plants.In addition, when spawning, it is important to quarantine them in advance to prevent them from eating the eggs of other species. When breeding Corydoras, it is important to create an environment conducive to spawning, such as driftwood or commercially available spawning shelters. Outside of the breeding season, they may use those places as hiding places, so it is good to include them.

What to look for when keeping corydoras
Corydoras are recommended because they are easy to keep and to mix with other species. They are also attractive in many ways, such as their cute appearance and the variety of species. Corydoras use their mouths on the underside to feed on moss and debris, making them a good choice for beginners and those who are concerned about water quality.The Corydoras has long been popular as a litter catcher in aquariums, but there is a similar species of tropical fish called the pleco. Corydoras are larger in size than Corydoras, so if you only keep small fish, we recommend the Corydoras. If you are buying from a specialty store, you need to pay attention to whether or not the corydoras are receiving artificial feed. If they are on artificial feed, they may not take care of moss and debris, so if you are concerned about this, we recommend that you ask the store staff. If you are interested in Corydoras, we recommend that you take a look at them at a specialty store.
