Care guide
Keeping Bronze Corydoras healthy in a South African setup.
Tank setup
A minimum 75L aquarium suits Bronze Corydoras. Provide hiding spots and stable, well-filtered water; it suits a community setup.
Water parameters
Keep pH 6–8 and 22–27°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers; acclimate new arrivals slowly.
Feeding
Omnivore — sinking foods, frozen. Feed small amounts it clears in a couple of minutes, and vary the diet.
Behaviour
Peaceful, social bottom-dweller. Watch it at feeding time and at lights-out to see its real temperament in your tank.
Tankmates
Choose tankmates of similar size and temperament with the same water needs. Avoid fin-nippers and anything large enough to eat it.
Breeding
Breeding success with Bronze Corydoras depends on the line and water chemistry; ask your shop about proven pairs.
Keeping corydoras?
Corydoras sift the bottom all day — soft sand and clean water keep their barbels intact.
