EMERALD GREEN CORYDORAS 10 pack

Emerald Green Corydoras (Corydoras splendens) – Hardy, Metallic, and Peaceful Clean-Up Crew

The Emerald Green Corydoras, also known as the Green Catfish or Brochis Splendens, is a larger, shimmering cousin of the standard Corydoras species. With its deep emerald green iridescence, peaceful temperament, and excellent scavenging habits, this Cory is a favorite among aquarists looking to add vibrant color and utility to the bottom of their tank.

Unlike smaller Corydoras, the Emerald Green grows a bit larger and makes more of a statement—perfect for mid-to-large community setups. Its armored plating, constant movement, and schooling behavior create both beauty and function in planted aquariums, South American biotopes, or peaceful community tanks.
