To enhance their playful antics at the bottom of the tank, corys are best kept in a small shoal of at least three. I have four in my tank, one of which is blind. (Check your fish before you bring them home with you!) Unfortunately my serpea tetras were having a great time nipping at their fins. Since the serpeas were too gorgeous to dispose of, I decided to set up shelters around the tank for the corys using small flower pots and their fins have now almost completely recovered from the abuse of the serpeas.

Probably the best corydoras around for the aquarium. Is decently sized, so it cleans better than julii, pygmaeus, or habrosus, but isn’t so large that it almost pollutes more than it cleans, like the barbatus. It also has normal corydoras eating habits (scavenger), making it a better choice than undulatus. The colors aren’t striking, but the effieciency of this Callichthyid makes it a perfect choice for the tank clean up crew.

What great fish! I got a five gallon tank and a betta, and after asking a lot of questions and doing a lot of research on what fish can get along with those fighters, I got a pair of bronze corys. Social, industrious, and very amusing, they keep Samurai (my betta) entertained; he’ll swim down to see what they’re up to, and there’s never been the slightest amount of aggression. I highly reccommend them for any tank, especially companions to temperamental fish like bettas–but only if you’ve got enough tank space to support them!

great fish to have. very active, and likes to be around its own kind. be careful of adding aquarium salt, because cories and most other catfish are scaleless and don’t do well with either salt or most aquarium medications.
