Known for its metallic bronze sheen and peaceful temperament, this species is a favorite among aquarium enthusiasts. Its medium-large size makes it an excellent addition to community tanks, where it helps keep the substrate clean by scavenging leftover food. The Bronze Corydoras is hardy and adaptable, suitable for beginners and experts alike. Its calm nature ensures it coexists well with a variety of other fish species, contributing to a harmonious underwater environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTank Requirements and Habitat\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProper care for Bronze Corydoras involves providing a suitable environment that mimics their natural habitat. These catfish thrive in tanks with soft, sandy substrate to protect their delicate barbels, and plenty of hiding spots such as plants and driftwood. A tank size of at least 20 gallons is recommended for a small group, as these fish prefer to be kept in schools of five or more. They require stable water conditions with a temperature range of 22-26°C (72-79°F) and a slightly acidic to neutral pH between 6.0 and 7.5. Good filtration and regular maintenance are essential to keep them healthy and active.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeeding and Behavior\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBronze Corydoras are omnivores with a diet that includes sinking pellets, algae wafers, and live or frozen foods such as bloodworms and brine shrimp. Their bottom-feeding habits make them excellent companions for larger fish, as they help reduce detritus without competing for food at the surface. These catfish are social creatures that exhibit schooling behavior, often swimming together and resting near the tank's bottom. They are gentle and non-aggressive, making them ideal for peaceful community tanks. Observing their active and curious nature adds interest and balance to any home aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"N8 Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"1 Fish","offer_id":43093347958889,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Fish Bundle","offer_id":43093347991657,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 Fish Bundle","offer_id":43093348024425,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/9520\/1897\/files\/BronzeCory2.jpg?v=1784061877","url":"https:\/\/n8aquatics.com\/products\/bronze-corydoras-medium-large-3-5-to-4cm","provider":"N8 Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
