In their natural habitat, Corydoras Amandajanea can be found in slow-moving rivers and streams with sandy or muddy substrates, dense vegetation, and low to moderate water flow. They are native to the upper Paraguay River basin in Brazil and Paraguay. In the wild, they are often found in large shoals, and they prefer to swim and forage in the lower regions of the aquarium.

Corydoras Amandajanea are omnivorous, which means that they eat both plant and animal matter. They will feed on algae, small crustaceans, and insect larvae, as well as commercially prepared sinking pellets and flakes. It's important to provide them with a varied and balanced diet to ensure that they receive all the necessary nutrients.

Corydoras Amandajanea are relatively easy to care for, making them a great option for beginner aquarists. They prefer water temperatures between 72-78°F (22-26°C), a pH range of 6.0-8.0, and a water hardness of 2-25 dGH. It's important to provide them with plenty of hiding spots, such as caves or plants, to help them feel secure in their environment. A sandy or fine-grained substrate is also recommended as it mimics their natural habitat and allows them to forage for food more easily.
