They are very sensitive for nitrate.They are omnivorous but they prefer small live food. Dry food is accepted as well. Breeding is difficult. Not much is known about it. The water should be free of nitrate.

Here's everything you need to know about caring for and keeping the Tail-Spot Corydoras in your aquarium:

Tank Setup:

  • Tank Size: A minimum tank size of 20 gallons is recommended for a small group of Tail-Spot Corydoras.
  • Substrate: Use fine gravel or sand as the substrate, which mimics their natural habitat and prevents damage to their barbels.
  • Plants and Decorations: Incorporate plenty of hiding spots and plant cover to replicate their native environment. Driftwood, rocks, and caves make excellent additions.
  • Water Flow: Tail-Spot Corydoras prefer slower-moving currents, so ensure a gentle water flow in the aquarium.

Tank Mates:

  • Peaceful Community Fish: Tail-Spot Corydoras are peaceful and thrive in community setups. Consider tank mates such as tetras, rasboras, guppies, and other peaceful dwarf cichlids.
