  • Tank size: 20L+ recommended
  • Difficulty: 🟡 Moderate
  • Temperament: Peaceful
  • Best kept: Groups (8–10+)
  • Plant safe: Yes

Is this for you?

✔️ Good if:

  • You want a nano schooling fish with unique behaviour
  • You enjoy mid-water activity in small tanks
  • You have a peaceful planted aquarium
  • You are happy to keep a larger group

❌ Avoid if:

  • You want a traditional bottom-dwelling cory

  • You expect them to clean the tank

Why this fish?

Corydoras hastatus is one of the smallest corydoras species, known for its distinct tail spot and schooling behaviour.

Unlike most corys, they spend much of their time swimming in the mid-water in tight groups, making them more like a nano schooling fish than a typical bottom-dweller.

Common mistakes

  • Keeping them in small groups → leads to stress and poor behaviour
  • Expecting bottom-dwelling behaviour
  • Keeping with larger fish that intimidate them
  • Underfeeding due to their small size
  • Assuming they replace tank maintenance

Care made simple

  • Temperature: 22–26°C
  • Diet: Micro pellets, fine foods, small frozen foods
  • Group size: 8–10+ recommended
  • Substrate: Soft sand preferred
  • Water: Clean, stable, well-maintained

Pair with

  • Micro pellets / fine foods
  • Fine sand substrate
  • Dense plants
  • Small peaceful nano fish
NTA Insight:
This species behaves more like a nano schooling fish than a typical cory. The larger the group, the tighter and more natural their schooling behaviour becomes.

FAQ

Are they bottom dwellers?

Not really. They spend a lot of time swimming mid-water and only occasionally rest on the substrate.

How many should I keep?

At least 8–10 is recommended. Larger groups show much better behaviour.

Are they good for nano tanks?

Yes, they are ideal for nano setups when kept in groups.

Do they clean the tank?

No. They still require proper feeding and care.

What do they eat?

Micro pellets, fine foods, and small frozen foods suitable for nano fish.

Shark dog approved
Size: Large, Color: Broccoli, Size: Large, Color: Broccoli
My new baby shark.... I mean puppy really enjoys chewing. I can't just give her a ton of pig ears or bully sticks all day, which she would definitely love, so I'm constantly looking for well made chew toys. I'd put this right up with Kong. Very durable and nice. I also love the different textures, she seems to also love it. She can gnaw at the top and chew on the stem. She wanted it as soon as I opened it - it does smell like bacon but I haven't taken a chomp at it to be able to write a complete review! My dog is about 23 lbs but I can see a 80 lb dog chew this, it's not small.

So cute
Size: Large, Color: Pumpkin
My French Bulldogs have really strong jaws and are aggressive chewers. These really are sturdy and last a good amount of time. They are a bit heavy and awkward for my dogs to hold onto but they do like them.

Cute toy and super tough!
Size: Small, Color: Lobster
My small dog is a serious chewer, and this lobster toy has been holding up great. Usually, he destroys toys within a day, but this one’s still going strong after a couple of weeks. The shape is perfect — easy for him to grab and chew, and the little claws keep him entertained. The filet mignon flavor must be good because he goes right for it every time. It’s sturdy without being too hard on his teeth, and it doesn’t leave any mess or pieces behind. If you’ve got a small but mighty chewer, this one’s definitely worth it. Cute design, lasts forever, and keeps my pup busy — total win. 🦞🐾

Seeing our furry friend so engaged and happy is priceless. It satisfies his natural urge to chew while teaching him healthy chewing habits. **A Flavorful Experience:** Did I mention the cheese flavor? It runs throughout the toy, adding another layer of enjoyment for our pup. It's like a delicious treat that never ends! **Perfect for Big Dogs:** As the proud parent of an extra-large dog, we opted for the "Souper" size, designed for dogs over 50 pounds. It's the perfect size for our gentle giant. In conclusion, Nylabone's Power Chew Cheese Chew Toy has become an integral part of our dog's life. It's more than just a chew toy; it's an adventure, a dental health solution, and hours of entertainment all rolled into one.
