Corydoras aeneus “Green Cory”
The Green Cory is one of the most common cory cats available. It has a metallic green body and stays relatively small, making it perfect for small community aquariums or as a larger school in large aquariums. Cory cats are schooling fish, and should be kept in groups of at least 3 to 4 fish. They need a good amount of open swimming room on the bottom and the tank should be sparsely decorated. Temperature should be monitored closely as cory cats get easily stressed by cooler temperatures. Corydoras are peaceful and can be kept in most community and planted aquariums with fish like tetras, danios, rasboras, livebearers and rainbows. Provide broad-leaf plants and crevices under rocks or other ornaments for hiding places. They accept flake and small pellet foods as well as tablets, live or frozen worms, and brine shrimp.
