They also come from environments with quite a bit of current, so they appreciate water movement. Water movement can be provided by a simple air stone or sponge filter or something as complex as a wavemaker.

It takes them quite a bit of time to scrape off enough food to make a meal. In the aquarium, they will readily eat almost any food as long as it settles to the bottom of the tank.

What more could you ask for?\nMost Corydoras are perfect citizens in a peaceful community aquarium. There are hundreds of species with a wide range of colors, patterns, and fin shapes. Affectionately referred to as Corys, these small catfish are always entertaining as they clown around together searching for food. Most are 100% non-aggressive, relying on their heavy body armor to protect them. Corys live by the phrase \"make love, not war,\" spawning in large communal aggregations without combat or displays of dominance. Because of their peaceful nature, there is never any worry about stress due to bullying or hierarchy disputes.\n\nSomething interesting about these catfish is how they supplement their oxygen intake by breathing atmospheric air. They do this by darting up to the surface, taking a gulp of air, and darting back down to the substrate. This is perfectly normal behavior which adds to the charm of their clownish behavior.\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetup Considerations:\u003c\/strong\u003e \nCorydoras can be found on a wide range of substrates in the wild ranging from mud to sand to rock. However, all the species we have kept have greatly appreciated a substrate of fine sand which they constantly sift through for food, often burying their faces up to their eyeballs as they push into the sand. Fine sand is not strictly necessary and they will do just fine on a wide variety of substrates, or even on the glass bottom of an aquarium, but, if you can provide sand, you will see a lot of really enjoyable behavior as they root around for food.\n\nThis fish is highly gregarious and only truly thrives when kept in groups...the bigger the better.\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore\nCorydoras need protein rich foods in order to thrive. Unfortunately, they are often sold as \"cleaner\" fish with the expectation that they will get enough nutrition by sucking algae and other gunk from the substrate. While they do need some plant matter in their diet, they are not effective algae eaters. In fact, for optimal health, it is recommended that they be target fed a variety of sinking pellets and wafers, as well as the occasional offering of frozen and live foods. They can eat quite a lot, but are somewhat slow feeders. We have found that regularly feeding long-lasting foods such as large pellets, wafers, and Repashy and letting the Corys graze on these foods for a few hours at a time helps keep them fat and sassy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverview:\u003c\/strong\u003e A green Cory!

The current group is young and has not developed its full color yet, but they are worth the wait!\nMost Corydoras are perfect citizens in a peaceful community aquarium. There are hundreds of species with a wide range of colors, patterns, and fin shapes. Affectionately referred to as Corys, these small catfish are always entertaining as they clown around together searching for food. Most are 100% non-aggressive, relying on their heavy body armor to protect them. Corys live by the phrase \"make love, not war,\" spawning in large communal aggregations without combat or displays of dominance. Because of their peaceful nature, there is never any worry about stress due to bullying or hierarchy disputes.\n\nSomething interesting about these catfish is how they supplement their oxygen intake by breathing atmospheric air. They do this by darting up to the surface, taking a gulp of air, and darting back down to the substrate. This is perfectly normal behavior which adds to the charm of their clownish behavior.\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetup Considerations:\u003c\/strong\u003e \nCorydoras can be found on a wide range of substrates in the wild ranging from mud to sand to rock. However, all the species we have kept have greatly appreciated a substrate of fine sand which they constantly sift through for food, often burying their faces up to their eyeballs as they push into the sand. Fine sand is not strictly necessary and they will do just fine on a wide variety of substrates, or even on the glass bottom of an aquarium, but, if you can provide sand, you will see a lot of really enjoyable behavior as they root around for food.\n\nThis fish is highly gregarious and only truly thrives when kept in groups...the bigger the better.\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e \nCorydoras need protein rich foods in order to thrive. Unfortunately, they are often sold as \"cleaner\" fish with the expectation that they will get enough nutrition by sucking algae and other gunk from the substrate. While they do need some plant matter in their diet, they are not effective algae eaters. In fact, for optimal health, it is recommended that they be target fed a variety of sinking pellets and wafers, as well as the occasional offering of frozen and live foods. They can eat quite a lot, but are somewhat slow feeders.

The babies start off a brown color, but develop a nice honeycomb pattern with an orange tinge as they mature.\nPlecos from the genus Ancistrus are great algae eaters and, unlike the Common Pleco, they don't grow huge. In addition, they are hardy, and easy to maintain. Some species such as the Starlight varieties are downright beautiful. Even the plain brown Bushynose species are unique looking with their bristly faces.\n\u003cstrong\u003eSetup Considerations:\u003c\/strong\u003e \nAlthough they will come out during daytime feedings, all Ancistrus plecos are nocturnal and need places to hide during the daytime. They also come from environments with quite a bit of current, so they appreciate water movement. Water movement can be provided by a simple air stone or sponge filter or something as complex as a wavemaker. Although it is not strictly necessary, these plecos appreciate some wood in the aquarium on which they can graze.\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omnivore\nThese fish are omnivores which scrape algae, biofilm, and detritus off the substrate in their natural environments. It takes them quite a bit of time to scrape off enough food to make a meal. In the aquarium, they will readily eat almost any food as long as it settles to the bottom of the tank. Algae wafers, zucchini slices, and French cut green beans rotated with feedings of sinking protein pellets can provide a good long-term diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverview:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fairly new to the hobby, this one by far one of the most beautiful bushynose plecos.
