🐟 Corydoras trilineatus Care Tips
✅ Tank Requirements
• Tank Size: Minimum 60 litres for a small colony to allow for active foraging.
• Group Size: 6 or more; these are social fish that thrive in numbers.
• Substrate: Fine, smooth sand is essential to protect their sensitive barbels from damage.
• Filtration: Moderate flow with good oxygenation; keep the substrate clean to prevent infections.
🌡️ Water Parameters
• Temperature: 22–26°C (72–79°F)
• pH: 6.0–7.5
• Hardness: 2–15 dGH
• TDS: 100–250 ppm
🍽️ Diet
• Omnivorous: Feed high-quality sinking catfish pellets, granules, and frozen foods like bloodworm or daphnia.
• Supplement with occasional live foods to encourage natural foraging behaviour and vibrant colour.
🧼 Tank Maintenance
• Perform weekly water changes (10–15%) using dechlorinated, temperature-matched water.
• Maintain a clean substrate by vacuuming regularly, as these fish spend their lives sifting through the sand for morsels.
🤝 Tank Mates
• Extremely peaceful; best kept with other community fish like tetras, rasboras, and dwarf cichlids.
• Avoid large, aggressive, or predatory fish that may harass or swallow them.
🍀 Colour & Health Enhancement
• Lighting: Provide areas of shade with floating plants or driftwood to help them feel secure and show their best colour.
• Diet: A mineral-rich, varied diet supports healthy growth and vibrant colour:
- High-quality sinking sinking pellets
- Occasional frozen protein foods for growth
- Varied diet to boost natural immune health
