Little cleanup crew for little tanks!
Gold Green Corydoras (Corydoras melanotaenia) look very similar to regular Green Cory cats-- However, these have a more pronounced golden coloration on their fins!
They only grow to a maximum of 2.5" (males slightly smaller), Just perfect for a ten- gallon tank!
These display the best coloring and behavior while in groups of 6+, and will thrive on sinking pellets and frozen foods.
While omnivorous, they will not bother other community fish, plants or inverts such as shrimp and snails! I personally do not like to keep them with shrimp colonies I wish to breed. I've never seen them eat baby shrimp, but I suppose it could happen.
Your little Corys will be between 1" to 2" long.
Care Parameters:
- Peaceful scavenging community fish
- Growth to a maximum of 2.5"

I ship insulated with medicated water, and Purigen, by tracked and insured USPS Priority only, and use cool packs when needed.
Do consider purchasing a heat pack if the temperatures in your area are below 40 degrees!
Please arrange to pull these little guys right indoors once they arrive to your mailbox. USPS also has a free mail hold service on their website. Please utilize this service if no one can be home.
While in quarantine before being sold, we treat all our live fish with the ‘Med Trio’; Maracyn for bacterial infections, Paracleanse for internal and external parasites, and Ich-X for fungal infections.
