Maintain these water conditions for optimal health and vibrant colors
Bronze Corydoras (Corydoras aeneus, also treated in current taxonomy as Osteogaster aenea) is a peaceful shoaling catfish for community aquariums. This page has been cleaned to remove old algae-eater keyword residue: corys are bottom-feeding catfish, not a solution for algae problems.
| Sale size | 2 cm on this variant; larger size variants may appear on the parent listing |
|---|---|
| Adult size | Up to about 7.5 cm |
| Group size | Keep 6 or more where possible |
| Water | 22-26°C, pH 6.0-7.5, stable mature freshwater |
| Diet | Sinking catfish foods plus frozen/live foods such as bloodworm and daphnia |
Use soft sand or smooth rounded substrate to protect the barbels. Bronze Corydoras do best in a peaceful aquarium with gentle tank mates, open bottom space, shaded areas and regular feeding after lights dim so food reaches the group.
They will pick through the substrate for leftover food, but they still need their own sinking diet. Do not rely on them as a clean-up crew or algae-control fish.
Livestock is packed for UK delivery by a licensed live-animal courier and covered by our Live Arrival Guarantee when the policy conditions are followed.
