Food and feeding

Origin

South America; Reticulated corydoras are found in the lower Amazonian River Basins of Brazil.

Sexing

When viewed from above, the females will be slightly larger and have a stockier body shape.

Breeding

This species of Corydoras has yet to be reported as breeding in the aquarium but in the wild they are egg scatterers like the other Corydoras species.

Lifespan

The expected life span for Corydoras reticulatus is 3-5 years.

Short description

Corydoras are a social fish and as such should be kept in small groups of at least 5 specimens. Use a sandy substrate to protect their delicate barbels and never keep these with boisterous or aggressive fish as they cannot compete for food and they will become shy and retiring. This species of Corydoras is sometimes referred to as the “network Cory” and is an ideal species for a beginner to keep.
