AngelfishPterophyllum scalare
Bronze CorydorasCorydoras aeneus
Verdict:with caution
- Behaviour: with caution
- Water: ranges overlap
Why
The water suits both species, and corydoras stay near the bottom. There is one condition: during spawning angelfish guard a territory and chase tankmates, so fights are possible at that time.
Water and size
| Parameter | Angelfish | Bronze Corydoras | Shared range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temperature | 24 – 28 °C (75 – 82 °F) | 21 – 27 °C (70 – 81 °F) | 24 – 27 °C (75 – 81 °F) ranges overlap |
| Water pH | 6 – 7 | 6 – 8 | 6 – 7 ranges overlap |
| Water dH | 5 – 10 | 5 – 18 | 5 – 10 ranges overlap |
| Size in aquarium | 15 cm (5.9 in) | 7 cm (2.8 in) | |
| Required aquarium volume | from 200 L (53 gal) | from 70 L (18 gal) | |
| Keeping | Schooling (usually from 5–6 individuals and more) | Small group (5–6 individuals) | |
| Temperament | Semi-peaceful (dangerous to smaller ones) | Peaceful (regular) | |
| Swimming level | middle level | near the bottom |
This is a general estimate: fish of the same species differ in character. Tank volume is given for each species separately — two species together need at least the larger of the two, and usually more.
