Water Conditions
Adolfoi Corydoras (Corydoras adolfoi)
Description
The Adolfoi Corydoras is a striking and peaceful freshwater catfish known for its unique coloration and active, social nature. Native to the Rio Negro basin in Brazil, this species is a favorite among aquarium enthusiasts for its distinctive appearance and relatively easy care.
Appearance
- Body Coloration: Pale body with a distinctive black band running from the mouth, through the eye, and over the head. The dorsal fin has a black spot, and a bright orange to yellow patch is present on the nape.
- Fins: Mostly transparent with a black spot on the dorsal fin.
- Size: Typically grows to about 2 inches (5 cm) in length.
Habitat
- Natural Habitat: Found in slow-moving, clear waters with sandy or muddy substrates.
- Aquarium Setup: A well-planted tank with plenty of hiding places, such as driftwood and rocks. A soft, sandy substrate is ideal to prevent damage to their delicate barbels.
Water Parameters
- Temperature: 72-79°F (22-26°C)
- pH: 6.0-7.2
- Hardness: Soft to moderately hard (2-15 dGH)
Diet
Adolfoi Corydoras are omnivorous and will thrive on a varied diet. They can be fed high-quality sinking pellets, wafers, and tablets. Supplement their diet with live or frozen foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia, as well as blanched vegetables.
Behavior and Compatibility
- Temperament: Peaceful and social, best kept in groups of at least 6 to 8 individuals.
- Tank Mates: Compatible with other peaceful community fish. Avoid keeping them with large or aggressive species.
Breeding
Breeding Adolfoi Corydoras can be rewarding but requires specific conditions. They typically spawn in groups, with females laying eggs on flat surfaces such as plant leaves, aquarium glass, or decorations. A separate breeding tank with soft, slightly acidic water can increase the chances of successful breeding. After spawning, parents should be removed to prevent them from eating the eggs.
Maintenance
Adolfoi Corydoras are hardy fish but require good water quality to thrive. Regular water changes and maintaining a clean substrate are essential. They are sensitive to high nitrate levels, so proper filtration and water care are crucial.
Interesting Fact
Adolfoi Corydoras are named after Adolfo Schwartz, a Brazilian ichthyologist who discovered this species. Their unique head marking and vibrant coloration make them a standout addition to any community aquarium, and their active, social behavior provides endless entertainment for aquarists.
