Really like the shallow tank design. Ideal for the nano species. T

I miss mine, great work man, very natural looking tank...those boraras seems happy
Pygmy Corydoras (Corydoras pygmaeus) aren't anything like as bottom orientated as their larger cousins, and spend a lot more <"time resting on">, and grazing from, leaf surfaces (both leaf litter and growing plant leaves). You can see them on the left of the image in the linked thread. They usually rest there, or on the sponge filter. There is some exposed sand substrate at the back of the tank and I have seen them sitting on that, but not noticeably feeding from it.that Cory's required a sandy area for their grazing?
Thanks!Great looking setup! 1 Question however...I was under the impression that Cory's required a sandy area for their grazing?
Yep, I had read that too so opted for the Pygmy corydoras this time. They definitely do spend more time higher up in the tank than my Corydoras habrosus.Hi all,

I've also kept Corydoras habrosus, and they were much more bottom orientated, and did sift through the sand like a larger Corydoras species would.

Well...there is my lesson for the day learned! HAHA!Hi all,

No, you are good. I would definitely recommend a sand substrate for keeping Corydoras.there is my lesson for the day learned!
