One of the smallest species of Cory and an ideal, active schooling fish for the aquarium, the true Pygmy Cory is found in the middle and upper Amazon and Napo rivers in Colombia, Brazil, and Peru. In the wild, they are usually found in shallow stretches of whitewater or clearwater creeks or seasonally flooded forest. This species is a true shoaling fish which aggregates in groups of hundreds to thousands in nature, and unlike most Corydoras will spend a substantial amount of time swimming in the water column rather than on the substrate. In the aquarium, they will exhibit this same ‘swarming’ behavior and constant activity if kept in groups of 10 or more. With their small adult size and compatibility with almost any other small fish or invertebrate, they are an extremely popular addition to planted and shrimp tanks.

A smaller growing spotted species of Hypancistrus known from the Rio Negro and its tributaries, the L136 Demini Angelicus Pleco (Hypancistrus sp. L136) is an ideal pleco for the small to medium community aquarium. Although normally shy at first, they will become more comfortable spending time out in the open over time and especially when food is added to the tank. Like most of their close relatives in the genus Hypancistrus, the L136 is not a particularly good algae eater and prefers a more protein rich diet than some plecos. Peaceful toward nearly all tankmates, they can be territorial towards other plecos but will typically coexist without problems long as plenty of cover is provided in the aquarium.

The Snow White Bristlenose Pleco is a line bred variant of the Common Bristlenose or Bushynose Pleco (Ancistrus sp.) developed from the more common albino strain which features vivid blue eyes and solid white body. With their bright white coloration, they make a striking addition to a medium or large community or planted aquarium and are one of the most popular of the many color forms of Ancistrus available in the hobby. As with all Common Bristlenose Plecos, these fish are ideal aquarium inhabitants, grazing on diatom algae while still being safe with live plants and peaceful towards all tankmates. While these plecos will do an excellent job controlling nuisance algae in the aquarium, they should be fed regularly with a high quality diet like Repashy gel formulas.

A large growing and intricately patterned catfish, the Gomez Cory (Brochis gomezi) is found in the Amazon basin around the region where Brazil, Colombia and Peru come together. Like most cory catfish, they are peaceful, hardy, and best kept in groups due to their schooling nature. Because of their larger adult size than most of their relatives, this species makes for great bottom feeders or dithers in aquariums with medium South or Central American Cichlids or other predatory fish which aren’t large enough to try to make a meal of them.
