Care guide at a glance
Brochis splendens
Description
A deep-bodied cory relative in iridescent emerald green, considerably larger and stockier than a standard corydoras. Peaceful and long-lived.
Feeding
Sinking pellets, wafers and frozen foods. Food must reach the bottom in quantity - they will not thrive on what other fish leave behind.
Compatibility
Entirely peaceful. Keep in groups of six or more with any calm community fish.
Behaviour and personality
Busy bottom-dweller, working the substrate for food during the day, with periodic dashes to the surface for a gulp of air.
Before you buy
Soft sand substrate is strongly recommended. Sharp gravel wears down the barbels, and a cory that has lost them struggles to feed.
