    I see mine quite a lot. Not so much during the day but i dont see the sun much my own self. I feed em at night, that entire tank in fact (a 20 high w a betta, porkchop, harlequin, and merah rasboras, and a sizable number of habrosus corys so i have activity in all areas of that tank). I dont find them to be shy even before the food goes in, w a 20 high i can dim the lights to a level that the substrate gets comfortable amounts. They are pretty active when foraging and seem to be encouraged in their activity level by others of their species and possibly the presence and constant but non-threarening motion of the habrosus. At first i made sure to target feed them assuming they would be last to the party, no such worries, they make sure to get to the table on time if not actually seated already. I do target feed both species of catfish to make sure plenty of food makes it past the gluttonous betta and the lightening fast rasboras. Apart from that no feeding or behavioral issues. I just adore these guys. Have 5 abd would not mind, nor would they a few more. They are undemanding and contribute little to the bioload of a heavily filtered and quite mature tank filled with teeny nano fish. Lots of rocks tho, give em lots rocks which seem to make em happier. Love these guys

      @@tempestous-i3k Yes, this seems like a much nicer tank for them, and something I will lean closer to in the next phase of this aquarium.
      That is interesting that the Habrosus would draw out the Anchors. For some reason I thought that they would have driven them all the more to hiding! Even still, I don’t think I will seek out any Pygmy corydoras for this tank, but I’m sure the information will be useful to someone who is creating an aquarium around this catfish

    Amazing video! I’m so excited to set up my Everglades-inspired swamp tank with least killifish, Pygmy sunfish and these guys!

      @@MattKeepsFish before adding the fish?? Sounds like an amazing idea. I don’t even have the tank or the stand yet so it will probably happen in a relatively far future hahaha but I’ll definitely keep that in mind

    I love these, they're so cool! My LFS got some in this week and if I didn't already have banjos and cories I'd be getting some. I don't want the bottom level of the tank to het too crowded though.

      They’re definitely a fish to shape a tank around!

    I was under the impression C Habrosis is smaller than the pygmy

    • @MattKeepsFish
      @MattKeepsFish  Месяц назад +1

      Close! But the largest habrosus was a half inch longer than the largest pygmaeus.

      @@MattKeepsFish Hostatus?

    • @MattKeepsFish
      @MattKeepsFish  Месяц назад +1

      That would be somewhere in between, although an exceptionally large Hastatus would be comparable to a large Habrosus.
      Edit: a source on Reddit says that Habrosus would be the smallest, however I have worked with both and have personally owned Habrosus, and I would say that it is larger, if not the largest, of the dwarf corydoras
