Gold Laser Cory Tank Setup

Aim for a tank with a soft substrate to protect their sensitive barbels, incorporating plenty of hiding spaces such as caves and plants to create a sense of security. Moderate water flow is preferable, as it mimics their natural habitat. Lighting should be subdued to promote grazing behavior and reduce stress, ensuring a balanced environment with open areas for movement and exploration.
