Keeping Incolicana Corydoras in Singapore
Incolicana Corydoras are peaceful, sociable bottom dwellers that fit beautifully into the planted community tanks so many Singapore hobbyists run. Like all corys they are shoaling fish, so we always send them home in groups rather than ones and twos, since a lone cory becomes withdrawn and inactive. They constantly sift the substrate for food, which makes them genuinely useful tank-mates as well as charming to watch working the bottom in a busy little group.
Substrate choice matters more for these fish than most: sharp gravel wears down their delicate barbels and can lead to infection, so we keep ours over smooth sand or fine rounded grains. Our ambient 27-29C suits them without a heater in most homes, and they thrive in the soft, slightly acidic tap water common here. Keep the bottom clean, as uneaten food trapped in substrate fouls quickly in our warmth, and feed sinking foods so they get their share before faster mid-water fish.
Acclimatise slowly when you bring them home. Browse our bottom feeders range, and read our corydoras catfish care guide alongside advice on the best aquarium sand for a corydoras tank.
