Aeneus Cory – 6 pack

This variant develops striking red-orange coloration as it matures and is great for beginners and experts alike!

The Aeneus Cory Catfish (Corydoras aeneus) is a colorful variant of the classic Bronze Cory that is native to several countries in South America. It is becoming very well-known for the red-orange coloration that it develops across its body as it matures. It is a very animated, distinctively marked schooling fish that is perfect for the nano, community, and planted aquarium.

The Aeneus Cory Catfish is a very peaceful schooling fish that is compatible with most nano aquarium animals, including dwarf cichlids and angelfish. It might prey on small dwarf shrimp but is safe with larger shrimp and most other peaceful ornamental invertebrates. It is a classic scavenger and will inhabit and feed on the aquarium floor, which should be comprised of sand or smooth gravel. The very coarse substrate can damage its delicate barbels and underbelly, so it should be kept in an aquarium with sand or very smooth gravel substrate. Aeneus Cory is otherwise undemanding as it will accept most dry, frozen, and live foods. Aeneus Cory is adaptable to most tropical freshwater conditions as long as standard regular maintenance is performed and sudden changes are avoided.
