I bought six Aeneus Green Corydoras for my 20-gallon tank. They are very calm and active, especially during feeding. The green color is bright and the white belly stands out well. They don’t stress other fish and enjoy being in a group. Easy to care for with regular water changes.

The fish arrived healthy and looked vibrant. I kept them in a community tank with tetras and cichlids. They stay peaceful and clean the bottom of the tank. I only have one minor concern—some of them hide during the night, but that’s normal for shy species.

Great addition to my aquarium. The green shimmer is stunning under soft LED lights. I keep them in a group of seven and they swim together in a coordinated way. Very active but not aggressive. Perfect for beginners who want a peaceful fish.
