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.
