Care Guide

Adolfo's Cory Catfish thrive in groups of six or more, where they display their natural schooling behavior and become more active. A soft sand substrate is highly recommended to protect their sensitive barbels while they forage along the bottom.

Provide plenty of driftwood, plants, and shaded areas to replicate their natural Amazon habitat. Maintain excellent water quality with regular water changes for the best health and coloration.

Tank Mates

Adolfo's Cory Catfish do well with many peaceful freshwater species, including:

• Tetras
• Rasboras

• Dwarf Cichlids
• Angelfish
• Discus
• Other peaceful Corydoras species

Avoid housing them with aggressive or very large predatory fish.

Feeding

Feed a varied diet consisting of high-quality sinking pellets, algae wafers, frozen foods, live foods, and occasional protein-rich treats. While they consume leftover food, they should not be relied upon solely as a cleanup crew.
