Information
about care:
Food and feeding:
Adolfo's cories will accept all foods offered; add sinking pellets to ensure food reaches the bottom of the tank. An occasional treat of blood worm will be relished.
Origin:
Adolfo's cories are found in Brazil on the middle Amazon regions, Rio Negro and Rio Uaupes.
Sexing:
When viewed from above, the females will have a fuller outline and will be slightly larger.
Breeding:
Plenty of water changes to provide a good clean climate should induce spawning. There will be 20-30 eggs laid in each batch and the female will carry them by creating a pouch with her pelvic fins to deposit them on the underside of plant leaves or even the tank glass. The eggs will hatch a few days later and once the fry are free swimming they can be fed on newly hatched brine shrimp.
Lifespan:
Expected life span is 5 years.
Short description:
Corydoras adolfoi do like swimming spaces at the front of the tank and are best kept in groups of 5 or more.
