Temperament:
Emerald Corys are the "gentle giants" of the Corydoras world. They are peaceful, gregarious, and highly social. Unlike some smaller species that can be shy, Emeralds are quite bold and active during the day. They are best kept in schools of 6 or more; watching a group of these metallic-green catfish "shuffling" across the substrate together is one of the best sights in the hobby.
