Corydoras oiapoquensis is a peaceful bottom-dwelling species that thrives in groups of five or more. It exhibits typical Corydoras behavior, including frequent bottom sifting and 'social' resting on leaves or wood. The aquarium should include a soft substrate to protect their sensitive barbels and should be decorated with plants and hiding places to mimic the natural environment.
