Whats The Smallest Cories?

[Miss Wiggle]

i know there is corydoras pygmyus..... are there any more?

just wondering if there's any that would be suitable for an 8g tank, was thinking if i can get 4x1" cories and a small group of microrasbora's it should be ok.

C. habrosus, C. hastatus, and C. pygmaeus

thanks sue, thought they began with 'h's'

habrosus is the largest of the 3 dwarf species. I'm not sure which of the other two are smaller. It can only be a tiny difference.

there are actually 4 listed dwarf corys. the 4th is Corydoras nanus. However, these are the largest of the 4 and are extremley hard to come by.

Apologies. I didn't think that C. Nanus was still in the aquarium trade.

You are correct. The fish has not been seen in the trade for almost 30 years. - Frank

as frank said, its not been seen for some years unfortunatley. However, there are some listed on my import list for this month, so i have ordered all 4 dwarfs to see what arrives

Hi Bryan,

I'm not aware of anyone currently collecting in Suriname. I think you'll find, that upon arrival, you'll be looking at C126. - Frank

Hi Frank,
Its not Bryan LOL, although i can see why you got confused. Its Lee, AKA Sp00ky

I know that the chances of Nanus arrving are VERY limited, but i want to put them to the test and see if they come good
