{"product_id":"brown-cory","title":"Bronze Cory","description":"\u003cp\u003eBronze corys hail from South America. Growing up to 8cm in length, these hardy, freshwater catfish are a great choice for a community aquarium, for beginner and experienced hobbyists alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpecial requirements: Bronze corys are best kept in groups of six or more. Adding a larger group of corys to your tank will reduce shyness and promote natural behaviours. Corys generally thrive best and demonstrate natural behaviour when kept as a single type of cory, as supposed to lots of different types, however it is possible to house different types of corys in one aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBronze corys can breathe intestinally so it is common that they will travel to the surface of the water. It’s best to leave a gap at the top of the tank to give space for them to come to the surface, it’s also best to house them in a shallower tank so that their journey to the surface is shorter. They can live in deeper tanks but befit from creating mid-way points in the tank for corys to rest in on their journey to the surface of the water – this could be provided by hardscape materials or plants such as Amazon sword. Corys also benefit from being on a tank with a large bottom as the enjoy rooting around and foraging in the substrate. Corys are best kept in a tank with a sandy bottom, this mimics their natural environment. Avoid course gravel substrate in tanks with your corys- the jagged edges can damage their sensitive barbels as they sift the substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiet: At Wirral Aquatics we feed our Bronze corys \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.wirralaquatics.co.uk\/products\/ebo-foods-pro-soft-mussel-125g\"\u003eEBO Pro Soft Mussel\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.wirralaquatics.co.uk\/products\/ebo-foods-pro-soft-insect-meal-125g\"\u003eInsect Meal\u003c\/a\u003e.
