what temperature do I keep cories ??

[Bubble_B0y]

I heard that cories do better in cooler water and become less active if the water becomes too warm.

If you keep cories, can you please tell me what temperature is your tank.
I want my cories to be very active.

I've read they are able to be kept at 72-79 F. I don't have any so it isn't personal experience, just reading I have done.

I just read that there are certain types of cories that do require cooler temps. Around 68-72. I'd look them up at www.liveaquaria.com to see what applies to your cories.

I had my albinos in temps that ranged at various times from 78-82. They seemed fine at both temps.

from my experience with a few different types of cories (julii, albino, emerald, and bronze) they really enjoy the lower temps at about 68-75. HTH!

As has been mentioned, it depends on the species....some do best around 70ºF, whereas others (like sterbai) do better around 82ºF....do you know what species you have?

I have a few julii's. The water has been kept at a steady 81 d since their introduction. They seem to like it.

I have panda corydoras and i do notice that when i used to keep my tank lower.. actually around 73-75 they were more active, but when i got angel fish my water is around 78-80.. they seem less active than they used to be, they used to play in the bubbles a lot but they still eat and keep the bottom squeaky clean...
