Gold/Orange Laser Corys are premium schooling catfish recognized for the brilliant metallic orange-gold stripe running from behind the head toward the tail. The stripe stands out dramatically against their darker bronze bodies.

These fish have traditionally been sold as Corydoras sp. CW010, but their current genus placement is Osteogaster sp. CW010. Keeping the former Corydoras name in the tags will preserve customer search recognition.

Animal Data

Temperament & Behavior

Gold/Orange Laser Corys are peaceful, social bottom dwellers that should be maintained in groups of at least six. A larger group helps them feel secure and encourages more natural schooling, resting, and foraging behavior.

Feeding

These fish are omnivorous bottom feeders. They must receive dedicated sinking foods and should not be expected to survive only on scraps left behind by other fish.

Recommended foods:

  • High-quality micro pellets and sinking pellets
  • Insect-based wafers
  • Frozen baby brine shrimp
  • Frozen brine shrimp
  • Frozen daphnia
  • Frozen bloodworms as treats
  • Live baby brine shrimp

They do best in tanks with:

  • Fine sand
  • Live plants
  • Driftwood and shaded areas
  • Open foraging space
  • Gentle to moderate flow
  • Good oxygenation
  • Stable water around pH 6.0–7.8
  • A group of at least six

  • Larger planted community: 29–40 gallons or larger

Water Temperature

  • Ideal range: 72–78°F
  • Stable temperature and clean water are important
