Description
The Bronze Cory is a popular and hardy freshwater catfish known for its peaceful nature and schooling behavior. It features a metallic bronze-green sheen over a light brown body and is an excellent bottom feeder, helping to keep the substrate clean. These active fish thrive in well-planted aquariums with soft substrate and should be kept in groups of at least six.
