- /per
The Corydoras Barbatus, also known as the Bearded Cory, is a unique and charming freshwater fish, cherished for its distinctive appearance and peaceful nature. It's particularly recognized for its elongated barbels, resembling a beard, and its attractive, armored body that can reach up to 3 inches in length. Ideal for community tanks, these sociable bottom dwellers are excellent scavengers and keep the substrate clean.
Origin: Native to the fast-flowing rivers and streams of South America, particularly in Brazil, the Corydoras Barbatus thrives in environments with lots of hiding spots and a sandy or fine gravel substrate, mimicking their natural habitat.
Feeding: As omnivores, Corydoras Barbatus are not picky eaters. They readily accept a variety of foods including high-quality sinking pellets, flakes, freeze-dried bloodworms, and daphnia. Occasional treats of live or frozen foods like brine shrimp can also be provided for a balanced diet.
Tank Mates: Peaceful and adaptable, the Bearded Cory gets along well with most non-aggressive fish. Ideal tank mates include small to medium-sized tetras, rasboras, and other peaceful community fish. They do best in groups of at least six, as they are a schooling species and enjoy the company of their own kind.
Aggression: These fish are known for their gentle and passive nature. They show no aggression towards other tank mates, making them a perfect addition to a peaceful community aquarium.
Experience Level: Corydoras Barbatus is suitable for aquarists of all experience levels. They are particularly recommended for beginners due to their hardy nature and easy care requirements.
Water Parameters:
- Temperature: 72-79°F (22-26°C)
- pH: 6.0-7.5

Regular water changes and a well-maintained filter are essential to keep these fish healthy. Sensitive to poor water conditions, it's important to monitor water quality regularly.

Nice searchable website, plenty of stock, reasonably priced next day delivery, well packaged. Slightly more detail would have been nice as I bought 32mm thinking that was the external diameter but I suspect most people buying these items would know that. :)

Such a great service. Bought a fish tank Ciano emotions 150 Pro and it's arrived very well packed just 2 days after purchase. After 2 weeks i had an issue with light power supply which has been replaced straight away after I reported that to customer service. They look afyer customers and always replied very quickly if you have any problem. Strongly recommended!!!
