They also prefer groups of 6 or more.

Environment for Adolfo's Cory

The Corydoras Adolfoi comes from the middle Amazon in Brazil and Peru and prefers a tank temperature of 78f-82f. They also prefer a lower PH ranging from 6-7.5 and softer water.  They would do well in a well-filtered 10-gallon, but a 20-gallon or larger is preferred. These fish have sensitive barbells or whiskers and one should have the proper substrate for them. To keep their barbels (whiskers) in the best condition, fine sand or smooth gravel should be used as the substrate.
