| A somewhat uncommon but fairly popular species of Corydoras. They are ideal for community fish tanks, as they are peaceful and can be entertaining to watch. C. davidsandsi is relatively new to the hobby, but is becoming more common all the time. These catfish will not harass tankmates, and get along well with one another. Cories should not be kept with aggressive fish. C.davidsandsi are Omnivores. They will eat a range of foods from flakes to small freeze-dried animals to algae wafers. Frozen foods are taken with relish, and live foods are even more popular. | |
| BREEDING | |
| C. davidsandsi tends to be easy to breed for a Corydoras. It is best to set up a tank of at least fifteen gallons just for this purpose. Furnish the tank with plants and a sponge filter as the fry may also be raised in this setup. At least two males and a female should be included in the spawning group though greater numbers are better. Well-conditioned and mature fish can often be induced to spawn with a water change, which will cause a drop in water temperture. | |
