Orange Laser Corydoras

Corydoras sp. CW010

Why We Love This Fish

  • Verified shrimp-safe species
  • Quarantined before shipping
  • Stunning in planted tanks
  • Peaceful community fish

Orange Laser Corydoras (CW010) are a compact, visually striking Corydoras species with a bold orange-gold lateral stripe that runs cleanly from snout to tail. They’re one of the more distinctive small Corydoras available, combining the peaceful, social behavior the genus is known for with standout coloration.

Like all Corydoras, they’re schooling fish that should be kept in groups of 4 or more, and they do best on a soft sandy substrate that protects their sensitive barbels. They’re completely peaceful, spend their time working the bottom and lower column, and are safe with shrimp and all non-predatory tankmates.

Species Spotlight

Why We Love This Fish

01

Bold Orange Lateral Stripe

A clean, vivid orange-gold stripe from snout to tail — one of the most distinctive color patterns in the Corydoras genus.

02

Shrimp-Safe Bottom Crew

Orange Laser Cories are completely peaceful and safe with shrimp of all sizes. They stay on the bottom and never bother invertebrates.

03

Social and Active

Corydoras are social fish — a group of 6 or more is visibly more confident, more active, and spends more time in the open than a lone fish or a pair.

Expert Advice
Razz Aquatics Recommendation

Soft sand substrate is important for Corydoras — coarse gravel damages their barbels over time. Keep 6 or more for confident behavior. They pair beautifully with shrimp colonies and mid-column schooling fish.

Common Questions

Orange Laser Corydoras FAQ

Are Orange Laser Corydoras safe with shrimp?+
Yes, completely. They’re bottom-dwelling scavengers with no interest in invertebrates. Safe with shrimp of all sizes including shrimplets.
Do they need special substrate?+
Soft sand is strongly recommended. Coarse gravel or sharp substrate can damage their sensitive barbels over time. Fine-grain sand or smooth substrate is ideal.
How are they shipped?+
Professionally packed in an insulated box with a heat or cold pack matched to your local weather. Livestock ships Monday through Thursday and delivers Tuesday through Friday. Choose your preferred delivery date at checkout.
Is there a live arrival guarantee?+
Yes — 100% Live Arrival Guarantee on every order. Photo any DOA in the sealed bag on the day of delivery and submit a claim through the Start a Claim page. Approved claims are resolved with store credit, refund, or replacement at Razz Aquatics’ discretion.
How many should I keep?+
Minimum 4, ideally 6 or more. Corydoras are social — larger groups are visibly more active and confident.
What do Orange Laser Corydoras eat?+
Sinking pellets, wafers, frozen bloodworms, and biofilm. They scavenge the bottom constantly but should be fed directly — don’t rely on leftovers alone.
What is the free shipping threshold?+
Free Overnight on fish orders $200+. Plants and dry goods ship free at $75+.
