{"product_id":"pygmy-cory","title":"Pygmy Cory","description":"\u003cp\u003ePygmy corys are native to South America. They are considered possibly the most popular bottom dwelling nano species in tropical fishkeeping, growing to a maximum of 3cm in length. Although they spend a lot of time at the bottom of the tank, unlike many other corys, they also enjoy swimming in mid-levels of the tank too. Special requirements: Best kept in groups of 8 to 12 to promote natural behaviour. Require a sandy substrate to prevent injuring themselves on the likes of gravel (they are so small that individual pieces of gravel can seem like boulders to them) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePygmy corys have the ability to breathe intestinally so it is common that they will travel to the surface of the water. It’s best to leave a gap at the top of the tank to give space for them to come to the surface, it’s also best to house them in a shallower tank so that their journey to the surface is shorter. They love a well planted tank with lots of hiding places. They also enjoy being in larger groups, feeling safer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiet: At Wirral Aquatics we feed \u003ca target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wirralaquatics.co.uk\/products\/ebo-foods-artemia-powder-125g\"\u003eEBO Pro soft artemia powder\u003c\/a\u003e, frozen daphnia, cyclops and fresh baby brine shrimp.
