Wild Caught Hastatus Corydoras (Corydoras hastatus)

The Hastatus Corydoras is one of the smallest and most sought-after Corydoras species, loved for its peaceful nature, tiny size, and unique mid-water schooling behaviour. Unlike most corys, these little fish will often school throughout the aquarium like nano tetras, making them an incredible addition to planted and nano aquariums.

These fish are wild caught, showcasing beautiful natural coloration and behaviour. Their silver bodies, black tail spot, and subtle iridescent sheen stand out beautifully in planted or blackwater-style aquariums.

Hastatus Corys thrive in groups of 6 or more and do best in mature aquariums with soft sand, plants, driftwood, and stable water conditions.
