The Nanus Cory is very active and adds a lot of charm to the tank. It’s easy to care for and enjoys the sinking pellets I provide. It’s a great addition to a small community aquarium.

I’ve had this fish for over a year and it’s remained healthy. It’s not the largest, but it’s lively and social. I feed it a mix of pellets and frozen bloodworms every day.

The fish is calm and doesn’t stress other tank mates. It’s a good choice for beginners who want a small, hardy catfish.
