Care guide at a glance
Aspidoras rochai
Description
A small close relative of the corydoras, finely marbled and rather more active than its cousins. Peaceful and easy, though seen less often in the trade.
Feeding
Small sinking foods: crushed wafers, micro-pellets and frozen cyclops or bloodworm.
Compatibility
Entirely peaceful. Keep in groups of six or more with calm, small tankmates.
Behaviour and personality
More restless than a true cory, moving in quick bursts along the substrate rather than working it steadily.
Before you buy
Smaller and quicker than a standard cory, so it can be outcompeted for food. Soft sand substrate protects the barbels.
