11 out 10! Absolutely love these Pygmy corydoras, arrived healthy and happy, and began to school and explore almost immediately. Will definitely be ordering some more to join them in future. Thank you McMerwe!

Healthy, Happy and Vibrant. No signs of white spot or illnesses. Immediatly schooled together out the bag in search of discarded crumbs. Extra credit for the double bagging method used by McMerwe with edgeless bags. 10/10 Fish & Service

Love watching them swimming.

Very healthy fish. It’s been a few weeks since they’ve been delivered to me from across the country but haven’t lost a single one. New favourite fish store.
Brigitta Van Besouw (verified owner) –
I absolutely love my little corydoras. I have 10 of them now and they are so adorable. I call them water hummingbirds as they hover around the tank. I have a few that like to perch themselves on rocks looking like they are contemplating the meaning of life.

New favorite fish! These little guys are full of personality and activity. Received mine healthy and didn’t lose any in the move to my tank

A must have bottom / mid column dweller for nano fish keepers. They school with most other fish and have a beautiful breeding behaviour.
Barend Connan (verified owner) –
These are delightful little fellas, a joy to watch and spawn like rabbits breed. Mcmerwe’s service is always impeccable, and their livestock cared for as if they are in a private tank that is lovingly maintained.

Fish are super healthy and Ive had no issues

Shipped all the way to cape town! I never knew how great these little fish are. Going to order another 5 seeing as they apparently school when in large numbers.

Lovely little fish.
Very nice to add to my shrimp set up.
Quality received is also great.

Bought 5 of these little guys for my 90L cube, were about 12 late because of a black Friday back log, and still in really good condition. Would recommend!
Lindie De Bruyne (verified owner) –
I received my Pigmy Cory in excellent health and spirits. It is so adorable and loves hanging out with my larger Leopard Cory. It was a small size still (around 1.5cm in length) so be aware of that if you need to immediately add it to a tank with other fish to ensure it does not get harassed.
Lizelle Marais (verified owner) –
This is gorgeous fish! I can look at them for hours. Small, beautiful and very lively. Healthy and excellent quality.
