If you are just going for a generic morichal habitat there are many choices. Morichal habitats are often spring fed so the water is clear. Moriche palms must grow with their roots submersed, so a morichal is stable (less impacted by dry season) year round. Some morichals will have tinted water, like weak tea, from moriche palm fronds decaying in the water. The banks are a complex maze of the roots from the palm trees. Substrate is often mud, but sand would work in the aquarium.
Suitable Corydoras in this article.

Thank you soo mutch i wouldn’t know what to do with you help becouse i found a lot of info about morichals but nothing about corydoras. You said that you have seen corydoras habrosus, aeneus black, and corydoras septentrionalis but would it also be posible to find corydoras brevirostris and melini?
