Bronze Corydoras
Also known as the Bronze Catfish or Emerald Brochis, the Bronze Cory Cat comes from the regions of South America in the Amazon River basin. It inhabits waters with high vegetation and neutral pH.
The Cory Cat comes from the tributaries of the Amazon river and is a peaceful bottom dwelling scavenger. The Albino Cory variety is mostly white to pink, and has multiple barbels around the mouth.
The Cory Cat requires a well planted aquarium with plenty of hiding places that provide relief from the light. A smooth sand or gravel substrate is needed because of the easily damaged barbels. They enjoy being in numbers, so a small school of four or more is ideal for these cats.
The Cory Cat is omnivorous and will require a well balanced diet including dry and live foods.

My Bronze Corydoras have been thriving in a 20-gallon tank with plenty of plants and smooth sand. They are very peaceful and active at the bottom. I feed them a mix of sinking pellets and bloodworms daily. They seem happy and stay together in a group of five.

These fish are easy to care for and very calm. I kept them in a planted tank with soft substrate. They don’t jump or disturb the water, which is great for beginners. I noticed they eat both dry food and small live foods.

The fish arrived healthy and have adapted well to my tank. I love how they move around the plants and stay in the lower part of the tank. The barbels are visible and they seem to enjoy the environment.
