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.
Key traits
Care guide
Keeping Corydoras Bronze healthy in a South African setup.
Tank setup
Size the aquarium to Corydoras Bronze's adult size and activity level. Provide hiding spots and stable, well-filtered water; it suits a community setup.
Water parameters
Keep pH 6–8 and 22–28°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers; acclimate new arrivals slowly.
Feeding
Omnivore. Feed small amounts it clears in a couple of minutes, and vary the diet.
Behaviour
Peaceful. Keep it in a group for natural behaviour.
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 Corydoras Bronze 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.
