The Bronze Longfin Corydoras (Corydoras aeneus) is a stunning long-finned variant of one of the most beloved and enduring catfish in the hobby. Its warm bronze-green iridescent body shimmers under aquarium lighting, while the elegantly extended fins add a graceful, flowing quality that sets it apart from the standard Bronze Cory. Hardy, peaceful, and endlessly entertaining to watch, this is a must-have bottom-dweller for any community aquarium.
