Wiggly, durable, and versatile, salt and pepper cories are an exceptional addition to a planted community tank of many sizes. One of my all time favorites, they will always have a place in my fish room. http://msjinkzd.com/ https://www.facebook.com/msjinkzd/ Corydoras habrosus- “salt and pepper dwarf cory” pH: 5.5-7.5 temperature-70-79 hardness:2-12 dkh adult size: 1.4″ behavior: shoaling, keep in groups larger than 6 with more than 10 being ideal diet: opprtunistic omnivore, easy to supplement compatability: other small and peaceful community fish

How common is it for these fish to spawn in a community tank? I wasn't trying at all, but I'm pretty sure I saw a small wriggler fry about 2 weeks ago, and I think it was from my cories (nothing else would be swimming on the bottom like that). It was <5mm long though and unfortunately I disturbed its hiding spot so I'm certain he's been eaten by something by now.

Also how do you feed them, I have kept other cory species years ago and had trouble feeding them?
And would they be fine in an open top aquarium (20 gallon long)?

Thanks so much for your response. I thought Nano was smaller than 20, but I'm going on information I've read that 20 is also considered Nano. Interesting point you made about the issues a lot of us have with attempted replication of the larger tanks. I would love to learn the rules of Nano tank husbandry! Thanks again.
in the past my cories barbs fell off and they died.my water is hard and I used gravel some times boiled beach gravel mixed in.
any way planning a 55 planted tank with black Diamond and soil or maybe ecocomplete and my tap water . is there a type of Cory that would be ok in harder water and black Diamond if so can I get 5 at a time and build my colony slowly.
Hope you're having fun and making some money in Maryland
