Description

Raimund's Aspidoras
Latin name: Aspidoras raimundi

The Raimund's Aspidoras is a small, peaceful South American catfish that closely resembles a miniature Corydoras. With its delicate markings, active nature, and sociable behaviour, it is an excellent choice for nano and community aquariums. Constantly exploring the substrate in search of food, this charming species brings plenty of activity to the lower levels of the aquarium.

  • Temperature: 22–27°C
  • pH: 6.0–7.5
  • Tank Size: Minimum 40 litres

  • Temperament: Very peaceful; best kept in groups of at least 6–8
  • Tank Setup: Fine sand substrate, plenty of plants, driftwood, leaf litter, gentle water flow, and excellent water quality
