Goodness these little sweethearts are precious. Does anyone know what they are (they weren’t labeled) and how to care for them? At some point when I’m an adult and have my own home I’d love to think about these little beans.
Definitely some kind of corydoras, though I’m not certain what kind.
Care for corys is pretty simple, no matter what the species. All except the dwarf and pygmy varieties do best in an aquarium 20 gallons or larger, at least 30g for the biggest species. They need to be in groups of at least 6, preferably more. They need clean substrate without sharp edges, and they do best on soft sand. If you put them on sand, they stick their snoots into it and wigglewiggle and it’s adorable. They eat food that sinks, so they need either frozen food or high-quality pellets. They aren’t aggressive at all, so you can keep them with anything that won’t bother or try to eat them.
