Pygmy corys are a schooling fish that require at least six or more to feel comfortable, but if you’re having trouble locating them at fish stores, consider the other dwarf corydoras species, like C. They enjoy eating just about any fish food, including sinking wafers and Repashy gel food. They pair well with the previous schooling midwater fish because they can use their whisker-like barbels to detect and clean up any crumbs that fall past them to the ground. The 1-inch (2.5 cm) pygmy corydoras are incredibly adorable because they always stay the size of baby cory catfish. As with the celestial pearl danios, feed them tiny foods that swirl midwater in the aquarium, such as baby brine shrimp, crushed flakes, and Easy Fry and Small Fish Food. Because of their petite size, they look better if you get at least 10 brigittae rasboras in a school and put them against a lush green background of plants. As one of the smallest fish on our list, they grow up to 0.8 inch (2 cm) in length with a very slender profile. If you bring them home and take good care of them, your patience will be rewarded when their coloration blossoms six months down the road. Chili RasboraĬhili rasboras get their common name from the fiery red color they display as full-grown adults, but most of time you see juveniles at the fish store that are much paler in appearance. Plus, they prefer feeding midwater (not at the top or bottom of the tank), so look for small, slowly sinking foods such as frozen cyclops, baby brine shrimp, and daphnia. CPDs are known to be a bit shy, so make them feel safer by increasing the size of their group and providing plenty of decorations and aquarium plants as cover. They can be a little pricier at $6-10 each, so save up your money to get at least six of these schooling fish. Originally from Southeast Asia, it kind of looks like a 1-inch (2.5 cm) miniature trout covered in shiny golden spots and bright orange fins.
