Name: Gastrodermus Hastatus (Tail spot Corydoras)

Corydoras hastatus, also known as the Dwarf Corydoras, are indeed fascinating foraging omnivores. Their diet can include a wide range of sinking dried foods, live options like chironomid larvae (commonly called bloodworms), and frozen foods such as Tubifex. Providing a varied diet will help keep them healthy and thriving.

Their peaceful and gregarious nature makes them ideal for community aquariums. To ensure their well-being and natural behavior, they should be kept in groups of at least 4-6 individuals, although larger groups of 10 or more are preferable for their social needs and activity levels.
