About
The Longfin Bronze Cory is a captive-bred variant of the ubiquitous Bronze Cory, featuring elegantly extended dorsal, caudal, and pectoral fins. It retains the excellent hardiness and adaptability of the standard form while adding visual appeal. It accepts a wide range of water conditions and thrives in most community aquariums.

Feeding: Sinking wafers, algae tabs, frozen bloodworm, and bottom-feeder pellets. Behaviour: Active schooling bottom dweller; keep in groups of 6+ for natural behaviour. Compatibility: Excellent community fish; avoid nippy species that may target long fins.
