Suggestions for Cories

[Luma21]

I'm looking for suggestions on a good schooling Cory. They have to be able to live in 80-82 degree water. They would be housed with Angels, glow light tetras and two GBRs. Any help??

Look at my fish below........

I'd suggest Sterba's cory. They do well at higher temperatures and are very commonly-sold, pretty little fellas! Bronzes would be alright, but that would be towards the very top of their tolerated range. Other suggestions include Fairy (C. atropersonatus), Smudge-spot (C. similis) and Rusty (C. rabauti) corydoras.

Avoid things like pandas, peppereds and bearded corydoras. They prefer much cooler temperatures and anything too warm will lead to long term health issues.

Alright thanks for the tips! I'll definitely do some research on them and hit the pet store soon!

Now I wonder how my peppered are swimming around for the last 2.5 years very happy at 26c Conall.......

Personal experience, books and online literature support my point. 26, according to most sources, is either too warm or is towards their upper threshold. Chill.

Edit: Sorry, there was me thinking 80F was 28C. Corrected that!

Corydoras sterbai are your best best for easily available fish that will tolerate the high temp. And they are super cute ! http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=316

Brochis splendens are the other. Nice sheen on the adults.
