The Emerald Brochis Cory Catfish (Corydoras splendens) is a very popular species due to its peaceful disposition and metallic green coloration. It is very widespread in its native South American habitats and it grows to a larger size than many other Corydoras catfish. It is a very animated, distinctively marked schooling fish that is perfect for the community and planted aquarium.
The Emerald Brochis 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 dwarf shrimp, but is safe with larger shrimp and most other peaceful ornamental invertebrates. It is a classic scavenger and will inhabit and feed at the aquarium floor, which should be comprised of sand or smooth gravel. 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. This fish is otherwise undemanding as it will accept most dry,frozen, and live foods. It is adaptable to most tropical freshwater conditions as long as standard regular maintenance is performed and sudden changes are avoided.
