Maintenance and care
Cory catfish, including Korydoras Kocha, do not require the creation of special conditions for themselves, but successfully adapt to the environment in which other fish already live (with a few exceptions). This adaptability is explained by the fact that catfish can adapt to different conditions. In particular, they are not demanding in terms of design and feel comfortable in a wide range of hydrochemical parameters.
Food. Another important aspect, thanks to which Somik is classified as an unpretentious baby, is his diet. It is an omnivore, accepting most suitable sized foods intended for aquarium fish. It is advisable to purchase sinking food, since corridors spend a significant part of their time near the bottom.
behavior and compatibility. It will become a good choice to the community to the community of other freshwater fish. The number of compatible species is quite large, anyone who does not consider catfish as food will do.
