Schwartz Cory (Corydoras Schwartzi)

The Schwartzi cory is one of the many varieties of Corydoras species. It is of the regular size for the cories, which is about 2.5 to 3 inches. The Schwartzi cory also has relatively the same preferences for water parameters.

These little fish like neutral water, 6.5 - 7.5 for the pH, the water being soft and the temperature around 71 - 75°F (22-24°C).

They come from the rivers of Brazil, so they prefer a well planted tank that has lots of hiding places. Their home should be at least 10 gallons for a school of just 3 cories. These fish, if cared for properly, will live to around 3 to 5 years.
