Emerald Brochis Corydoras - Brochis Splendens

The Emerald Brochis Corydoras (Brochis splendens) is a stunning, peaceful species of catfish known for its vibrant green and gold iridescence. Native to the slow-moving rivers of South America, this larger cousin of the Corydoras is perfect for aquarists looking for a beautiful, hardy fish to add a splash of color to their aquarium. Emerald Brochis Corydoras are bottom dwellers and thrive in schools, so it’s best to keep them in groups of at least 5-6 individuals to encourage their natural behavior. They are peaceful and do well in community tanks with other non-aggressive species. Known for their scavenging nature, they help keep the substrate clean by foraging for leftover food. They appreciate a tank with fine, sandy substrate and plenty of hiding spots. Emerald Brochis Corydoras prefer soft, slightly acidic to neutral water conditions.
