Can Bronze corydoras Live With Pygmy corydoras?

Detailed assessment

Both Bronze corydoras and Pygmy corydoras share a comfortable temperature range of 22–26°C (Bronze corydoras prefers 22–26°C, Pygmy corydoras prefers 22–26°C). Their pH ranges overlap well at 6–8, so water chemistry is compatible. Both species have low aggression scores (Bronze corydoras: 1, Pygmy corydoras: 1 out of 10), which supports peaceful cohabitation. The size difference is significant: Bronze corydoras reaches 7.5 cm while Pygmy corydoras reaches only 2.1 cm, and the larger species may view the smaller one as prey. Note: fish 2x+ larger may eat smaller tankmates With careful monitoring and adequate tank size these species can usually coexist, but be prepared to separate them if aggression or stress appears.
