The Horseman’s Cory is one of the very most majestic and striking cory species. Tank-bred specimens of this extremely beautiful and peaceful nano species are extremely rare!
The Horseman’s Cory Catfish (Corydoras eques)is one of the most coveted, but rare Corydoras species, especially when it comes to tank-bred specimens. It develops increasingly bright orange coloration along its gills and back as it matures. This orange creates a very striking contrast with the metallic blue-green slate coloration along the sides of the body of the fish. While it is very rarely available and considered difficult to breed, it is truly exceptional in every way and it makes a marvelous addition to the nano, planted, and community aquarium.
The Horseman’s Catfish is a very peaceful schooling fish that is compatible with most nano aquarium animals, including dwarf cichlids and angelfish. It might prey on some smaller dwarf shrimp, but is safe with larger shrimp and most other peaceful ornamental invertebrates. It is a classic scavenger and will inhabit and feed at the aquarium floor, which should be comprised of sand or smooth gravel. Very coarse substrate can damage its delicate barbels and underbelly, so it should be kept in an aquarium with sand or very smooth gravel substrate. This fish is otherwise undemanding as it will accept most dry,frozen, and live foods. It is adaptable to most tropical freshwater conditions as long as standard regular maintenance is performed and sudden changes are avoided. While it is a scavenger, care must be taken to ensure that it receives a good variety of high quality foods and is not simply expected to eat leftover food that other fish do not eat.
