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.
Coarse or sharp substrate (not a tankmate issue, but a setup requirement — note in product description)
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+.
Live plants give nano fish cover, reduce stress, and create a more natural aquarium. They help break up sightlines, provide shelter for shy fish, and support a healthier planted tank.
