Corydoras aeneus

Special notes

 * Be wary of coloured Bronze Corys. Sightings of red dye injected into the caudal area are becoming less rare as suppliers try to pretty them up to unsuspecting shop customers. These animals are often diseased and usually have a short life span.


 * The Bronze Cory is usually the species of fish the albino cory derives from. Though there are others but they are more rare, these include the Corydoras sterbai.
