Care guide at a glance
Gastrodermus nanus
Description
A genuinely miniature cory, well under half the size of the familiar species. Peaceful, sociable and ideal where a standard cory would be too large.
Feeding
Small sinking foods only: crushed wafers, micro-pellets and frozen cyclops. Standard catfish pellets are too large.
Compatibility
Entirely peaceful and suitable for nano tanks. Keep in groups of eight or more. Excellent with small tetras, rasboras and shrimp.
Behaviour and personality
Active along the substrate in a loose group, and considerably more visible than its size suggests.
Before you buy
Far too small to compete with larger community fish at feeding time, so make sure food actually reaches the bottom. Soft sand substrate is important.
