I added an Adolfoi Cory to my 10-gallon community tank and it has been very calm and active. It enjoys the vegetable-based food I offer and blends well with my other fish. Easy to care for and looks great in the tank.
Jessica Hart –
The fish arrived healthy and has been thriving in my aquarium for three months. I feed it a mix of sinking pellets and blanched peas. It doesn’t compete with other fish and stays near the bottom.

This Cory is a beautiful addition to my tank. The white spots stand out well against the brown body. I’ve kept it with tetras and guppies, and there’s no aggression observed.
