GoldfishCarassius auratus
Bronze CorydorasCorydoras aeneus
Verdict:with caution
- Behaviour: with caution
- Water: the shared range is very narrow
Why
The shared temperature is only one degree, 21–22 °C. The corydoras is peaceful and stays near the bottom, but a goldfish needs cooler water, and this is the main limit for such a pairing.
Water and size
| Parameter | Goldfish | Bronze Corydoras | Shared range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temperature | 18 – 22 °C (64 – 72 °F) | 21 – 27 °C (70 – 81 °F) | 21 – 22 °C (70 – 72 °F) the shared range is very narrow |
| Water pH | 6 – 8 | 6 – 8 | 6 – 8 ranges overlap |
| Water dH | 5 – 19 | 5 – 18 | 5 – 18 ranges overlap |
| Size in aquarium | 10 – 30 cm (3.9 – 12 in) | 7 cm (2.8 in) | |
| Required aquarium volume | from 300 L (79 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.
