Any Info On Elegant Corys?

[Deleted member 55926]

I couldn't find Corydoras Elegans in the fish species index. Was just wondering what sort of tank/water conditions they like, what size they grow to, etc.

ok, typed in corydoras elegans in google and this is one of the sites that came up: http/aquaworld.netfirms.com/Siluroidei/Corydoras/Corydoras_elegans.htm
it says they like temps 20-24degreesC, pH 6.0-7.5 and hardness 2-20 somethings (doesn't say)

another site: http/www.aqua-fish.net/show.php?h=elegantcory
temp:22-26
pH: 6-7.6
hardness (dgh): 4-18

yet another: http/www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?c=16+1911+1919&aid=2448
temp: 72-79F (yes, thats farenheit, not celsius thank goodness)
pH: 5.8-7
hardness (dh): 2-12

ok, thats just straight off the web ( ), so hopefully someone who has kept them before will come along offer their opinion also, maybe find the average as a guide from the 3 sites
