Green Stripe and Orange/Red Stripe Corys

[jdhuyvetter]

Anybody kept these with discus? Most of the sources I have looked at show an upper temp range of 79 to 82. I'm curious to know the life span of these fish on the higher end of the range. I plan on keeping the tank around 81-83. Tank is still a work in progress and won't have discus in it for a couple months. I know the fish are compatible from a personality perspective. Curious about the temp range.

Cory's have always done pretty well in the discus temp range for me

Corydoras species that can handle discus temperatures (84F Max ) include sterbai, acuatus, panda, adolphi, julii, loxozonus, davidsandii and aeneus.

These particular strains cannot handle 80+F.

So are Adolfi Corys OK at these temps ? I love these but wouldn't want to add them just to doom them. Anyone keep these at present ?

[Willie]

C. sterbai, adolfi, julii and arcuatus all do well at discus temperatures. C. trilineatus, which look like julii, cannot handle the heat. C. panda can be acclimated slowly.

adolfoi will do well, and they are cute as can be.
