[I Like Rare Fish]

Got these corys for free. Wondering what kind they are. Could it be bronze?

They hangout with each other, but take their time away from one another! Ive been meaning to get them some Cory friends, but AFD has smaller corys, and I want the larger ones.

if you go to a more established fish store there's usually huge cories i think
scored the emerald couple at petsmart, big ones they are

i also made a stupid mistake in terms of cories... i kept some pepperd cories in a Tropical tank,,,, well they're used to it but like a few died in the first few months and i was confused... now i know why

You're correct these are sold as Green Cories (Green aeneus).

Emerald Cories are C.splendens (formerly Brochis splendens)

When I first got them, I assumed they were emerald corys.
