Tank-Raised Green Aeneus Corydoras

Corydoras aeneus is arguably the most widely bred catfish on the planet — the green/bronze wild-type form seen here is the baseline from which albino, black, and a dozen other aeneus color strains were all selectively developed. It's also one of the most bulletproof corys for a new tank, tolerating a wider swing in water parameters than most of its more delicate relatives.
