Brochis pulcher (Corydoras pulcher) – Patterned Cory with Pale Fin Rays

The Pulcher Cory, Brochis pulcher (formerly Corydoras pulcher), is a peaceful, bottom-dwelling catfish from the Purus River basin in Brazil. Its patterned flanks, dark markings and pale fin rays make it a distinctive addition to a group of corys. Offered here as Corydoras pulcher ultra in XL size; sold individually.

Pulcher Cory Key Features

  • Patterned Body: Rows of dark markings and stripes contrast with a pale body.

  • Pale Fin Rays: Light leading fin rays accent the fish’s patterned silhouette.

  • Peaceful Temperament: A sociable catfish for a calm community aquarium.

  • Group Living: Keep at least six of the same species together, with room to forage.

  • Bottom Forager: Sensitive barbels help the fish search a soft substrate for food.

Pulcher Cory Care Requirements

  • Tank Size: A spacious aquarium of at least 30 gallons for a group, with ample floor space, clean fine sand and shaded places among wood or plants.

  • Water Temperature: 70–75°F (21–24°C). Maintain stable, well-oxygenated water.

  • pH Range: Approximately 6.0–7.5. Avoid sudden changes in water chemistry.

  • Diet: Omnivorous. Feed quality sinking catfish pellets or tablets and supplement with suitable frozen or live foods such as daphnia or brine shrimp. Do not rely on leftovers.

  • Tank Mates: Peaceful, suitably sized fish with compatible water needs. Avoid large predators and aggressive or fin-nipping tankmates.

Shipping & Care FAQ

Common questions about ordering, shipping, acclimation, and care. Have a different question? Contact us.

How long does fish shipping take?
All orders ship overnight via FedEx or UPS from our Philadelphia, PA facility. Most US addresses receive their fish within 16-24 hours of dispatch. We ship Monday through Wednesday to ensure fish arrive before weekend transit holds.
What is the Live Arrival Guarantee?
Every overnight shipment from Amazonia Tropical Fish LLC is covered by our 100% Live Arrival Guarantee. If a fish arrives DOA, we provide store credit — photo documentation within 2 hours of delivery is required.
How do I acclimate fish from Amazoniafish.com to my aquarium?
Float the unopened bag in your aquarium for 15-20 minutes to equalize temperature. Then drip acclimate over 45-60 minutes using airline tubing (1-2 drops per second) into a holding container. Net the fish into your tank without adding bag water. Dim lights for the first 24 hours.
How are the fish packaged for overnight shipping?
Fish ship in oxygenated double-bagged plastic bags inside insulated styrofoam boxes with heat or cool packs depending on season. Fishes are bagged with proper water-to-fish ratio. Boxes are clearly marked LIVE FISH on all sides.
Are the fish quarantined before shipping?
All wild-caught and imported fish undergo a multi-week quarantine at our facility. Specimens are prophylactically treated for internal and external parasites and verified to be eating well before being offered for sale. Domestic strains are quarantined for at least 1 week.
What if a fish arrives dead (DOA)?
Take clear photos of the deceased fish in the unopened bag within 2 hours of delivery and email us. We process Live Arrival Guarantee claims same-day — store credit is refunded to your account.
Do you ship to Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, or internationally?
We ship throughout the continental United States plus Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. International destinations are not supported due to live fish import regulations and shipping risks. We comply with Lacey Act and CITES regulations for all sales.
What water parameters should I prepare for my new fish?
Most South American tropical fish (angelfish, discus, apistogramma, tetras, corydoras) thrive in soft, slightly acidic water: pH 6.0-7.0, temperature 78-82°F. Specific parameters are listed in each product description. Wild-caught species benefit from blackwater botanicals (Indian Almond leaves, alder cones).
Do you offer wholesale or bulk pricing?
Yes — wholesale pricing is available for licensed retailers. Visit our wholesale page for details and bulk pricing on premium tropical fish.
