GloFish Cory Care Guide
Corydoras aeneus var. GloFish · Freshwater Fish
What GloFish Cory look like
GloFish Corys are fluorescent domestic forms of Corydoras aeneus. They retain the armored body plates, barbels, and bottom-sifting posture of bronze corydoras.
Behavior & temperament
Keep in groups of six or more on smooth sand or rounded fine substrate to protect the barbels. They are peaceful and social but sensitive to dirty substrate and sharp gravel.
Diet & feeding
GloFish Corys are omnivorous bottom feeders. Feed sinking wafers, fine pellets, frozen bloodworms, daphnia, brine shrimp, and occasional vegetable-based foods. They still need dedicated feeding, not leftovers only.
Behind the name
Corydoras means helmet skin; aeneus means bronze.
Plan your tank
Check the numbers before you buy: tank volume, a stocking plan, cycle progress, water changes, and your ongoing care routine.
