🐠 Compatibility

Excellent for peaceful community aquariums. Ideal tank mates include tetras, rasboras, gouramis, guppies, and other non-aggressive species. Avoid fin-nipping fish, as their long fins can be targeted.

⚠️ Important Notes

Due to their extended fins, Longfin Green Corydoras are more susceptible to fin damage and should be kept with calm tank mates and gentle water flow. As a shoaling species, they must be kept in groups to feel secure and display natural behaviour.

The Longfin Green Corydoras is a perfect choice for UK aquarists wanting a graceful, slightly more ornamental version of a classic, hardy bottom-dwelling fish.
