About this fish

A Peruvian corydoras with a glowing gold stripe along each side and an iridescent green body that catches the light as it moves. Busy, peaceful and endlessly entertaining, a group of Gold Lasers will spend the day sifting the sand together. Thought to be a colour form of Corydoras aeneus, it is still known by its CW code.

Care

Keep in a group of at least 6 on soft, fine sand so they can forage without damaging their barbels. Suits a mature community tank of 60 litres or more with shaded, planted areas and peaceful tank mates. Soft to medium-hard water, pH 6.0-7.5, at 22-27 °C. Like all corydoras they gulp air at the surface, so leave a gap between the water and the lid.

Feeding

Feed sinking catfish pellets or wafers that reach the bottom, plus frozen bloodworm, brine shrimp and daphnia a few times a week. Feed once the lights dim as well as during the day, as they are keen evening foragers.
