Longfin Aeneus Corydora
This long finned variety was developed by aquarists and does not exist in nature. In our experience, it has proven to be just as hardy as normally finned C. aeneus and has the same easy care requirements. One of the hardiest, easiest corys to keep, this species makes an excellent aquarium fish.
Most Corydoras are perfect citizens in a peaceful community aquarium. There are hundreds of species with a wide range of colors, patterns, and fin shapes. Affectionately referred to as Corys, these small catfish are always entertaining as they clown around together searching for food. Most are 100% non-aggressive, relying on their heavy body armor to protect them. Corys live by the phrase "make love, not war," spawning in large communal aggregations without combat or displays of dominance. Because of their peaceful nature, there is never any worry about stress due to bullying or hierarchy disputes.
Something interesting about these catfish is how they supplement their oxygen intake by breathing atmospheric air. They do this by darting up to the surface, taking a gulp of air, and darting back down to the substrate. This is perfectly normal behavior which adds to the charm of their clownish behavior.
