Overview
What to know before you buy.
The Bronze Cory, also available in an albino form, is one of the hardiest and most common Corydoras species. They have an iridescent bronze-green sheen and are tireless bottom-dwellers, cleaning up leftover food. As with all corys, they must be kept in groups to feel secure.

Care guide
Everything you need to keep Corydoras Bronze healthy in a South African setup.
Water parameters
Keep pH 6–8 and 22–28°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers — acclimate new arrivals slowly.
Feeding
Corydoras Bronze is an omnivore. Feed a varied diet appropriate for freshwater fish — quality flakes, pellets, or frozen foods sized to the mouth.
Behaviour
Corydoras Bronze is generally peaceful. Keep in a group where possible for natural behaviour.
Tankmates
Pair with similarly sized peaceful tankmates in freshwater fish. Avoid fin-nippers or species that outgrow this fish.
Breeding
Breeding notes for Corydoras Bronze vary by line and water chemistry — ask your local shop about proven pairs in SA.
Settling this fish in?
Condition the tap water, seed the filter, test through the first weeks — most early losses trace back to one of those.
