Product Details
⚡ Premium Gold Laser Corydoras (Corydoras sp. CW010)
Elevate your aquarium to the absolute next level with the crown jewel of the catfish world—the Gold Laser Corydoras. Unbelievably bright and highly coveted by collectors, this rare Peruvian wild-type variant looks as if someone painted a glowing, neon-gold laser stripe straight down its metallic green flank.
Under aquarium lights, that golden stripe acts like a fiber-optic cable, reflecting intense, iridescent flashes every time the fish moves. If you are looking for a bottom-dweller that isn't just a cleanup crew, but the literal centerpiece of your tank, this is the holy grail.
Why They Are a Collector’s Dream:
- Fiber-Optic Neon Stripe: Features a flawless, intense neon-yellow/gold stripe that instantly catches the eye from across the room.
- The Ultimate Showstopper: Adds an elite, high-end aesthetic to premium aquascapes and densely planted setups.
- Tireless Substrate Cleaners: Just as active and functional as common corys, keeping your sand clean and free of leftover debris.
- Peaceful Luxury: Gentle and completely safe around dwarf cichlids, tetras, rasboras, and even larger ornamental shrimp.
- Fascinating Social Life: Watching an elite school of these bright gold fish move in perfect unison is the ultimate aquarium flex.
Quick Care Specifications:
- Diet: Omnivore. Thrive on insect-based sinking granules, high-protein wafers, and frozen treats like bloodworms.
- Substrate Preference: Fine, smooth sand is required to protect their sensitive sensory barbels. (Pro-Tip: Keeping them on light-colored sand makes their gold stripe burn even brighter!)
- Adult Size: Compact 5 cm.
- Water Parameters: Temperature: 22°C – 26°C | pH: 6.0 – 7.5 | Soft to moderately hard water.
Note: Due to their high demand and seasonal availability from Peru, our stock of CW010 Gold Lasers is strictly limited. To see them display their natural schooling behavior, we highly recommend keeping them in a group of 5 or more.
