Like all corys they should never be kept alone. The minimum number of Emerald Catfish that should be maintained is 4-6, though other similar Corydoras species can serve as suitable shoal-mates. Corydoras will appreciate some cover in the form of rocks or driftwood. Most Cory species occur across a range of habitats from flowing rivers to still waters, so water flow in the aquarium is not critical.
