Emerald Green Corydora Catfish

The Emerald Green Cory Cat is a stunning and hardy bottom-dweller admired for its shimmering green and bronze coloration. Larger than most Corydoras, this peaceful species is ideal for community tanks and thrives in groups. Its gentle nature, active foraging behavior, and metallic sheen make it a standout addition to planted and soft-substrate aquariums.
