Care notes
Bronze/green metallic sheen. One of the hardiest and most widely kept cories — excellent beginner species. Available in albino morph. Keep 6+. Fine sand substrate.
Check the whole aquarium. Tank size alone does not establish compatibility. Confirm adult size, water overlap, social grouping, territory, diet, and the individual animals before stocking.
