The Bronze Cory Catfish, Corydoras Aeneus is widely distributed in South America on the Eastern side of the Andes, from Columbia and Trinidad to the Rio de la Plata basin.

They are found in quiet, shallow water with soft bottoms.

Males grow to 6.5cms and females 7cms (2.5inches-2.75inches)

Colors vary from yellowish pink body, white belly and blue-grey over its head and back. Fins are yellow or pink.

They have dorsal, pectoral and adipose fins with an additional sharp barb which have a mild poison that causes fish, which try to attack them, to get stung.

A brown- orange patch is usually present on the head, just before the dorsal fin and is the most distinctive feature when viewed from above the water.

Bronze Cory’s need to have hiding places, so you can add a dense growth of plants for them. They are easy to feed, eating all flake and pelleted food and live and frozen foods.

Water temperature should be between 20c- 28c (68f-82f) with ph 6.0-8.0 and hardness 2.30dgh-5.19dgh.

Like your Siamese Fighting Fish/Betta fish, Bronze Cory’s can come to the surface and take air through their mouths.

They love to be in groups of 5 or more.

The lifespan of your Bronze Cory could be 10 years, so you could have a lovely pet for a long time.
