Davidsandsi Corys ??

[dpt8]

I saw some of these Davidsandsi corys on Aquabid.. I really like their coloring. Does anyone have any experience with this variety of cory?? Can they take the high discus temps?? I know sterbis can.. Thanks, David T

I don't personally but I spoke with a friend who does, he told me they won't do well at discus temps - max is around 76f, also they like reasonable fast running water.

I kept 12 in a heavily planted tank at around 80 degree's successfully for years - not quite discus temps, but they did just fine.

They're a dwarf cory cats, don't grow to near the size of aenus ect.

Try getting in touch with Barbie at cichlid-forum.com for some real expert advice on em'. She's the catfish queen.

OK, thanks folks for the input.. Any other cories take the heat well ??

sterbai, gossei, seussei and adolphoi others will cope but will burn out quicker at the higher discus temps.

Pretty sure aenus will do alright, too.

I think low 70's are temps for cory breeding. I have sterbas and adolphoi's in 86-87 with my discus, they seem to tolerate it. I had some green lazer cories but they couldn't handle the high temps and died off :(
