About
Corydoras incolicana is a subtle, soft-patterned species from the upper Rio Negro region of Brazil characterised by a slightly elongated snout compared to many congeners. It inhabits soft, acidic, tannin-stained waters. While not commonly available in the trade, it is a peaceful and rewarding species for the dedicated keeper.

Feeding: Sinking wafers, micro pellets, frozen daphnia, cyclops, and bloodworm. Behaviour: Peaceful schooling bottom dweller; groups of 6+ recommended. Compatibility: Best with soft-water species from the Rio Negro drainage.
