Can zebra danios and bronze corydoras live together?
Yes
Zebra danios and bronze corydoras can share a tank. Their water needs overlap and neither is known to bother the other.
Why
- Their temperature and pH ranges overlap comfortably, and neither is known to nip, chase or eat the other.
What each one needs
| Zebra danio | Bronze corydoras | Both | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Temperature | 64–77°F (18–25°C) | 72–79°F (22–26°C) | 72–77°F (22–25°C) |
| pH | 6.5–7.5 | 6.0–7.5 | 6.5–7.5 |
| Minimum tank | 10 gal (38 L) | 20 gal (76 L) | 20 gal (76 L) |
| Keep at least | 6 | 6 | |
| Adult size | 2 in (5.1 cm) | 2.5 in (6.4 cm) |
The smallest tank for both
A 20 gallons (76 L) tank holds 6 zebra danios and 6 bronze corydoras at about 75% of its stocking limit, which leaves room for more.
