Corydoras adolfoi (Adolfo's cory)

Adolfo's cory is found only in a small area of the upper Rio Negro near São Gabriel da Cachoeira in Brazil, and reaches about 6 cm.

It spawns like other cories after a cool water change; eggs hatch in 3–4 days, but the fry aren't easy to raise. Keep it in soft water at 20–26 °C. See our guide to keeping tropical fish through a New England winter.
