Corydoras schwartzi are peaceful and social, thriving in groups. It is best to keep at least 5 to 6 individuals together. These bottom-dwelling, armored catfish are excellent for community tanks due to their non-aggressive nature. Make sure to provide sandy substrate to protect their barbels and plenty of hiding spaces using plants and ornaments. These fish are sensitive to poor water quality and should not be introduced to a newly set up tank.
