Adolfo's Corydoras

Adolfo's Corydoras

Adolfo's Corydoras is a beautiful and highly sought-after bottom-dwelling catfish, recognised by its striking black eye stripe, bold dorsal marking, and vibrant orange-yellow patch behind the head. Peaceful, active, and social, these corys are an excellent addition to well-maintained community aquariums.

Care Level: Easy
Adult Size: Up to 5–6cm
Temperament: Peaceful
Tank Size: 60L+ recommended
Diet: Omnivore – enjoys quality sinking pellets, wafers, frozen foods, and live foods
Water Parameters: 22–27°C, pH 6.0–7.5

Adolfo's Corydoras thrive in groups of six or more and appreciate a soft sand substrate to safely sift through in search of food. A well-planted aquarium with driftwood, shaded areas, and excellent water quality will help them display their natural behaviours and vibrant colours. They are constantly on the move and make a fantastic addition to peaceful community aquariums.

As with all our livestock, we encourage researching their care requirements to ensure they are the right fit for your aquarium before purchasing. Responsible fishkeeping and animal welfare always come first.
