Product Description

The Green Cory is a peaceful, bottom-dwelling freshwater fish known for its metallic green-bronze shimmer and friendly nature. Native to slow-moving rivers and streams in South America, these small catfish are social, hardy, and a perfect choice for community aquariums. Their playful behavior and tendency to school make them a favorite among aquarists.


Care Requirements

  • Tank Size:
    Minimum 60–80L for a small group (5–6 individuals).

  • Water Parameters:

    • Temperature: 22–28°C

    • pH: 6.0–7.5

    • Hardness: Soft to moderately hard (2–15 dGH)

  • Temperament:
    Peaceful and social. Must be kept in groups of 4 or more — they thrive in shoals and display more natural behaviors.

  • Diet:
    Omnivorous bottom-feeder. Feed a mix of:

    • Sinking pellets and wafers

    • Frozen foods (bloodworms, daphnia)

    • Occasional live foods and blanched veggies
      They’ll help clean up leftover food but still need a proper diet.

  • Tank Setup:

    • Soft, sandy substrate (to protect their barbels)

    • Plenty of hiding spots (plants, caves, driftwood)

    • Gentle filtration and moderate flow

    • Dim lighting preferred


Quick Facts:

  • Max Size: ~6–7 cm

  • Lifespan: 5–8 years with good care

  • Compatibility: Excellent for peaceful community tanks

  • Breeding: Possible in captivity; triggered by cool water changes and good feeding
