Orange Laser Corydoras Catfish (Corydoras sp. "Orange Laser")
The Orange Laser Corydoras is a stunning and highly sought-after bottom-dwelling catfish known for its brilliant metallic orange stripe that appears to glow under aquarium lighting. This beautiful Corydoras combines the peaceful nature and hardworking habits the genus is famous for with a unique coloration that sets it apart from more common species. Its shimmering orange "laser" stripe running along the back creates an eye-catching display that adds both beauty and activity to freshwater aquariums.
Like other Corydoras, Orange Lasers are social fish that thrive when kept in groups. They spend their days actively exploring the substrate, searching for leftover food, and interacting with one another in entertaining schools. Their peaceful temperament makes them ideal for community aquariums, planted tanks, and South American biotope setups.
Orange Laser Corydoras appreciate aquariums with soft substrate, driftwood, plants, and plenty of open areas for foraging. They readily accept high-quality sinking pellets, wafers, frozen foods, and other prepared diets. Their active nature, hardy disposition, and beautiful coloration make them a favorite among Corydoras enthusiasts and planted tank hobbyists alike.
