I have noticed that some of the Simply folks have cories in their tanks with discus to help keep it clean. I am looking for a recommendation as to which cory to put into the tanks. Are some better with the higher temps than others. I have got some bn pleco's and other pleco's but they are so darn ugly I would like to try something different.

Jim, I believe Sterbai are good, and I have a Jullii (spelling?) who has been doing very well for at least 8 mos. now. I tried Pandas but they only last about 6 mos.

Jim, a leading British breeder of corries recommends the following four for discus tanks, he reckons all the rest will "burn out" at the higher temps. They are sterbai, gossei, seussei and adolphoi. I have Sterbai and adolphoi in my tanks and can confirm they handle the temps very well indeed.

I have one albino cory and a few spotted corys. They really are excellent cleaners and a school of them is the way to go. They rock!

I've had C. Robinae for 2 yrs now, lost one out of 3.
