SPLENDENS BROCHIS 4-6CM The Emerald Catfish is perfect for the community aquarium. It should be kept on a soft sand substrate and maintained in groups of 5 or more due to its shoaling nature. Make sure to provide some shady planted areas. These catfish have the ability to breathe air intestinally, so leave a small gap between the surface of the water and the cover slides for the fish to come up and take air in. It may do this numerous times per day. Brochis splendens can be distinguished from Corydoras and Osteogaster species by the presence of more dorsal fin rays. However, it has fewer dorsal fin rays than the other two species of Brochis. It may also be seen on sale as Green ‘Cory’. The juveniles of this species look nothing like the adults, with the dorsal fin appearing very oversized and of a red coloration, and the body color being quite mottled.
