Pygmy Corydoras (Corydoras pygmaeus)
The Pygmy Corydoras is one of the smallest and most charming catfish in the hobby. Unlike most Corydoras that stick to the bottom, Pygmy Cories are often seen swimming mid-water in tight, playful schools — a delightful and unusual behaviour that makes them endlessly entertaining to watch. Their tiny size and peaceful nature make them perfect for nano and planted aquariums.
