C. similis is a very noce Cory indeed!

But isn't your "natural looking aquarium" just plain dirty?
I would do some good gravelcleaning and use a decent powerfilter.

Fish give the ammonia to water via the gills.The fish excreta contain very low ammonia about %1-5.Excreta contains mostly carbon compounds and minerals.So that many bacteria located on and process it.Then,it isnt appreciable waste.Unlike,there are many bacteria lives and process ammonia,nitrite and nitrate.Therefore,I set up all my aquariums such this and also no nitrate problems.Spite I do little water changes my water is very clean and has good values for example 5 ppm nitrate...

That is very natural looking. I got to make a "driftwood snag" aquarium some time too.

There are some videos of
Corydoras in their natural habitat on YouTube, and I assume you used those as inspiration for your aquarium?

[Mod edit: Use youtube tags - I think that makes it better --Mats]

Your tank looks great. Good luck with the similis. It has always been a favorite of mine.

Sweet biotope aquarium. 5 stars.

Looks exactly like cory habitat.

I found this video corydoras in more lotic conditions on more rough substrate and thought I would share it. I know we often say that corydoras don't like rough substrate but......

Who says they like it?

Seeing videos of cories in the wild (or any other cory video) always makes me wonder how it is possible for anyone to not like cories.

Nice biotope BTW.
