Overview: Bronze cory catfish (Corydoras aeneus) are peaceful bottom-dwelling fish, well-known for their metallic green-bronze sheen. Native to South America, these hardy fish can adapt to a variety of water conditions and are a great choice for community tanks and beginner aquarists. Their social nature means they do best in groups, making them ideal companions for other peaceful species.

Corydoras are egg layers, often breeding in captivity when conditions are right. They scavenge the substrate for leftover food, helping to keep the tank clean, but still require a balanced diet. With proper care, these fish can live up to 10 years, offering long-term companionship in your aquarium.
