I've had success breeding these beautiful fish. I just love them!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

So cool!

[@danbrown8979]

Nice! I like the way the artwork on the wall behind the tank reflects into the water surface!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you! Me too 😀

[@FishLoft]

Great overview on these Corys. Love the orange color on them. I would love to add some to my studio.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

The color gets even more vibrant on darker substrate!

[@FishLoft]

@@PrimeTimeAquatics I have duplicareous corys on a dark surface and they are stunning. I am amazed at the color difference of my skunk corys when I tried white sand for the first time, they totally brightened up.

[@jackievarughese3945]

I would love to get my hands on a few of these!

[@julianaquascaped]

my adolfoi just started breeding. they're lovely.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

That’s awesome!

[@markfranklin8831]

Amazing Cory for sure

[@ryanwaters3780]

I have 10 of these in a 30 gallon. I've had them a couple months. they share a tank with a bunch of rainbow fish fry that I'm growing out. Hopefully they breed for me in a few more months. great video!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

That’s an awesome combo!

[@luciad5988]

Really fun fish. Love their pop of color.

[@donaldhall8785]

We are up to 12 different species of Cory with the addition of a group of Orange Laser this week. I have never kept the Adolfo Cory so they are on the bucket list. Nice to hear someone else say that a group of 4 is OK. We keep several species in a tank at one time so a lot of our groups only have 4.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Wow - that’s so cool!

[@GrowMoreVeggies]

That red flint sand looks great. I like the variety of color and larger grain size on that substrate. Any chance you have a product name on that one? Great video. I love those Corys

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you - I believe that is the brand name as well!

[@SequoiaElisabeth]

Nice to see you working with "the Small Scape" Mr. Primetime 😀

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

😀

[@BardstaleGoldens]

My favorite Cory! I have 8 ❤

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Definitely in my top three!

[@RoseAnneLivao]

I appreciate how you covered everything very clearly! 💯 Btw, approximate how much is Cory in retail? I'm longing to have also.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Thank you - these guys are usually $10 - $15 each?

[@RoseAnneLivao]

​@@PrimeTimeAquatics Thanks for the idea! 🙂 That's the usual price in my area as well.

[@Scallywags_Fish_Bowl]

Super adorable!!

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

I agree!

[@ragnos28]

I keep their "brothers" the Duplicareus, I have 6 of them, they are on their forth year in my care. Really beautiful and really shy, they look great as they sift around in my leaf litter, but I must keep some distance from the tank. 😋 Unfortunately, mine are all males, so I was not able to atempt breeding them.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

So far the Adolfoi have always been pretty confident. They don’t seem to mind people. 😀

[@ragnos28]

@@PrimeTimeAquatics There are corys and corys...the albino ones form a string near the front glass and they "wink" at me, they don't care. The julli hide all the time and come out only during feeding. The duplicareus, even after 4 years of feeding them daily, still think that I'm the Loch Ness monster. 😅 Lately, I've began to select corys species based on their "extrovert" levels, so now I favor albino over their more fancier cousins, because it does not matter if a fish is beautiful if I can't see it. 🤓

[@CA-tk8yn]

They are beautiful. I have black sand so I wonder how the colors might dance with that background. It bet they would pop with possibly more of a pearl sheen at angles. My tank is built around the green tetras. They're fun to watch Do you guys sale and ship them or where do you trust for that? My local shop is not one I trust.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

They would look great! Unfortunately, we don't ship fish. Just sell them at Chicagoland swaps.

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

A super cool Cory. Nice color on this cat. I wonder if they would crossbreed with another Cory?

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

It might be possible. Ours hang out with both Rust Corys and Pandas.

[@camerica7400]

I want these corys but couldn’t remember the name, I just got the most amazing Gold/Orange laser Corys that I have ever seen the other day from a Mi fish swap.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Those are the other ones in my top three!

[@claytonshocklee9429]

Have you had issues brrrfing cories in 8 ph? What’s your gh? My ph is 8 and gh is 10 degrees .

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

They have been doing well at pH 8 and GH and KH close to 10.

[@jakeheinzelman3908]

Ive housed bronze corycats with bala , red tail sharks

[@zeuslea1]

Would these Corys be safe with Yo Yos and Otos?

[@dt4676]

How big are your yoyos?

[@zeuslea1]

@dt4676 I would guess one is about 4 - 4.5" and the other two seem to be staying about 3". I've had 2 - 1" Otos with them and Platys. Haven't seen them bother any of these. Moderate - heavily planted and 2 slate caves. 40gal breeder.

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

They might be ok together. Maybe just have a back-up plan in case your yoyos don't like them?

[@zeuslea1]

@PrimeTimeAquatics Hmm. I don't feel comfortable with "might." I think I'll just consider having them in my 20 once my rescape settles in. Or, maybe a new tank all together. 😁 Thank you!

[@BrodyStringer-kw4jq]

How do you keep alge off of your rocks?? I need to know. 😂😂

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

That's a brand new set-up so there will eventually be some algae on the rocks, but bristlenose plecos, siamese algae eaters, mystery snails, florida falg fish, otos can all help depending on your tank size and stocking!

[@BrodyStringer-kw4jq]

@ Can you do a video sometime to see how to deal with alge on your decor please???

[@onlywei]

What's a "rust cory"?

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

That little guy who keeps popping in the video - Corydoras rabauti

[@msbranen6261]

Im such a dork I thought "who is this Adolfo guy making videos?"

[@PrimeTimeAquatics]

Too funny 😂
