Green Corydoras

Green Corydoras (Corydoras aeneus / Green Cory Catfish) The Green Corydoras is a peaceful and hardy freshwater bottom-dwelling catfish admired for its beautiful metallic green sheen, active scavenging behavior, and excellent community temperament. Known for constantly exploring the aquarium floor, this charming catfish adds movement, personality, and practical cleanup activity to freshwater aquariums. Growing up to 6–7 cm, Green Corydoras thrive best in groups of 5 or more, as they are social schooling fish that become more confident and active when kept together. Their peaceful nature makes them ideal tank mates for tetras, rasboras, guppies, mollies, dwarf cichlids, and other calm community fish. These omnivorous bottom feeders enjoy a varied diet of sinking pellets, algae wafers, frozen foods, and live foods. A soft sandy or smooth fine substrate is highly recommended to protect their sensitive barbels, along with plants, driftwood, and hiding spaces to create a natural and stress-free environment.
