-
Tank Size: Provide a tank of at least 20-30 gallons for a small group of Emerald Corys, as they thrive in groups and need ample swimming space.
-
Water Parameters: Maintain stable conditions with a temperature range of 72-78°F (22-26°C), a pH level of 6.5-7.5, and soft to moderately hard water.
-
Filtration: Use efficient filtration to maintain good water quality and oxygenation. Corydoras are sensitive to poor water conditions.
-
Aquascape: Create a tank with sand or smooth gravel substrate to protect their delicate barbels. Provide hiding spots like caves, driftwood, and plants.
-
Tank Mates: Emerald Corys are peaceful and can be kept with other small, non-aggressive community fish. They do best in the company of their own kind.
-
Diet: They are omnivores, accepting high-quality sinking pellets, live or frozen foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and occasional vegetable matter.
