Orange Venezuelan Corydoras

Orange Venezuelan Corydoras are eye-catching bottom dwellers known for their golden orange colouration and peaceful temperament. Our orange Venezuelan cory for sale bring activity and colour to planted community aquariums while helping keep the substrate clean through natural scavenging behaviour.

Location

Originally from Venezuela, this species is found in slow flowing streams and shallow rivers with sandy or muddy bottoms. In the wild, they inhabit waters rich in plant matter and leaf litter, which they sift through in search of food.

Diet

Venezuelan Corydoras are omnivores that enjoy a diverse diet. Offer high quality sinking pellets, algae wafers, and small live or frozen foods such as bloodworms or brine shrimp. A varied menu keeps them healthy and enhances their vibrant colouration.

Care

These hardy fish thrive in tropical aquariums with temperatures between 22°C and 26°C and a pH range of 6.0 to 7.5. Use fine sand or smooth gravel to prevent injury to their sensitive barbels, and maintain good water quality with regular maintenance.

Habitat

Venezuelan Corydoras do best in groups of at least six. A tank with ample plants, shaded areas, and open spaces for swimming mimics their natural environment. They are peaceful and compatible with other small, non-aggressive species.

Breeding

Breeding Venezuelan Corydoras can be done in captivity. Provide cool, clean water and slightly increase feeding to encourage spawning. Eggs are typically laid on flat surfaces or plant leaves. Separating the adults after spawning helps protect the eggs.
