Why this fish?
Gold Laser Corydoras are known for their striking metallic gold stripe that runs along the body, making them one of the most eye-catching Corydoras available.
When kept in groups, they display natural schooling behaviour and become far more active and visually impressive.
Common mistakes
- Keeping them in small numbers instead of a group
- Buying them for appearance but not meeting care requirements
- Adding to unstable tanks → higher stress and losses
- Using sharp substrate → damages barbels
- Underfeeding due to “bottom feeder” assumptions
Care made simple
- Temperature: 22–26°C
- Diet: Sinking pellets, wafers, frozen foods
- Group size: 5+ recommended
- Substrate: Soft sand preferred
- Water: Clean, stable, well-maintained
Pair with
- Sinking cory pellets or wafers
- Fine sand substrate
- Driftwood and plants
- Peaceful tetra, rasbora, or nano fish
These look best and behave naturally when kept in proper groups. Most issues come from keeping too few or adding them to unstable tanks.
FAQ
Are Gold Laser Corydoras beginner-friendly?
Suitable for beginners with an established tank, but not ideal for brand-new setups.
Can I keep just one or two?
Not recommended. They are social fish and should be kept in groups of at least 5.
Do they clean the tank?
No. They forage along the bottom but still require proper feeding.
Do they need sand?
Soft sand is preferred to protect their barbels, though smooth substrate can also work.
Why are they called CW010?
CW numbers are hobby codes used to identify Corydoras that are not formally described species.
