Corydoras gladysae are peaceful fish ideal for community aquariums. They are social creatures that thrive in groups of 5 or more. A sandy substrate is preferable as it prevents damage to their sensitive barbels. Regular water changes and a stable water chemistry are key to maintaining their health. They enjoy a varied diet comprising pellets, live foods, and frozen foods.
