Corydoras venezuelanus Orange is an exceptionally attractive and peaceful bottom-dwelling fish that adds vibrant color and lively behavior to any freshwater aquarium. This stunning variety features rich orange-bronze hues combined with a dark saddle-like marking near the dorsal fin, making it a favorite among aquascapers and hobbyists alike.

Growing to a manageable size of about 5–6 cm (2–2.4 inches), these social catfish thrive best when kept in schools of at least 6 individuals. They are famously peaceful and make ideal tank mates for community aquariums housing other gentle fish species.

• Minimum Tank Size: 60 liters (15 gallons) for a small group.
• Water Parameters: Temperature 22–26°C (72–79°F); pH 6.0–7.5; soft to moderate hardness.
• Substrate Requirement: Fine aquarium sand or smooth, rounded gravel is a must to protect their sensitive barbels from abrasion and injury.
• Diet: Omnivorous bottom feeders. While they scavenge for leftover food, they require a balanced diet of specialized sinking pellets, wafers, and occasional live or frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp.

Enhance your aquascape with the vibrant presence of the Orange Venezuelan Cory and enjoy their charming bottom-dwelling antics!
