Care guide at a glance
Osteogaster venezuelanus
Description
A warm orange-bronze cory with a green-black flank patch, the colour far stronger than in most Corydoras. Peaceful, busy and one of the most attractive of the commonly available corys.
Feeding
Sinking pellets, wafers and frozen foods. Food must reach the bottom in quantity; they will not thrive on leftovers.
Compatibility
Entirely peaceful. Keep in groups of six or more with any calm community fish.
Behaviour and personality
Constantly active along the substrate, working the sand for food, with periodic dashes to the surface for air.
Before you buy
Soft sand substrate is strongly recommended to protect the barbels. Recently moved from Corydoras to the genus Osteogaster, so you will still see it sold under the old name.
