The Brochis Splendens - Emerald Green Brochis (4cm) is a spectacular centerpiece for the modern freshwater aquarium, known for its brilliant coloration and sophisticated social behavior. Characterized by a metallic, iridescent emerald green-to-blue body and a robust, armored profile, this 4cm variant is a masterclass in aquatic aesthetics. In the "Answering Machine" era of freshwater husbandry, the Emerald Green Brochis is highly prized for its peaceful temperament and its ability to cohabit beautifully with other peaceful community residents as an elite bottom-dwelling scavenger.
Unlike many smaller Corydoras species, the Emerald Green Brochis grows to a more substantial size, providing a significant presence in larger community setups. They are exceptionally active swimmers that occupy the lower levels of the water column and the aquarium floor, providing a constant display of color and rhythmic movement as they forage.

Care Level: Easy
Temperament: Peaceful
Variant Size: 4cm
Minimum Tank Size: 30 Gallons
Diet: Omnivore
Reef Compatible: N/A (Freshwater)
Max Size: 3.5 Inches
Water Conditions: 72 to 82°F, dKH 2 to 15, pH 6.0 to 8.0
The 4cm Emerald Green Brochis is an ideal candidate for a community planted tank. While they do not require a specific substrate for survival, a sandy or fine gravel bed is mandatory to protect their delicate sensory barbels from abrasion. They are high-metabolism scavengers and should be fed a varied diet of high-quality sinking pellets, algae wafers, and frozen meaty foods—such as bloodworms and vitamin-enriched brine shrimp—at least twice daily. As a social species, they thrive best in schools of six or more, where they feel secure and display their most natural group behaviors.
We’ve dialed in the logistics for national Overnight Delivery to ensure your livestock arrives in peak condition. Every order is packed using professional-grade insulation and climate-contingent heat or ice packs, designed to maintain stable temperatures throughout the journey. We handle the technical side of the move so you can focus on the acclimation. Our protocol is built on getting these fish from the facility to your tank with zero compromise on health or vitality.
