Since the Pantanal Corydoras might not be as common in the aquarium trade as some other Corydoras species, it's important to ensure that you have accurate and up-to-date care information specific to this species. If you are interested in keeping the Pantanal Corydoras, I recommend consulting with experienced hobbyists, joining aquarium forums, or reaching out to knowledgeable fish stores for guidance.
