Beautiful little catfish with personality!
These tiny little species of Cory cats (Corydoras pygmaeus), are active sand-sifters and just love to dig around in little schools. Stunning for their iridescent black and white striping highlights, Pygmy Corys only grow to a maximum of 1" (males slightly smaller), Just perfect for a ten- gallon tank!
Pygmy Corys are originally from India.
These display the best coloring and behavior while in groups of 6+, and will thrive on sinking pellets and frozen foods.
While omnivorous, they will not bother other community fish, plants or inverts such as shrimp and snails!
Your little Corys will be young, without full adult coloration, and between 1/4" to 1/2" long.

- 3-5 year life span
Undemanding Water Parameters:

Customer Reviews
I ordered 6. All arrived healthy and active. Acclimated well. Have had no losses. Active. I like how the Pygmy Cory will spend some time in the middle water column as well. This my go to fish store
All arrived happy and healthy! Definitely recommend!!
Healthy little guys even though arrived a day late and I intercepted from p.o. carrier at 6:30a that cold day. They love their sand bank and eat really well too! Fun to watch their antics!
Love my new pygmy Cory's. Active and healthy upon arrival and thriving!
Thank you Glass Grown Aquatics! The fish were each packed into their own medicated water with purigen and were super healthy and active when I received them. I will definitely be using this company to order fish from now on. So much care and detail even down to a little personalized note.
