Cory's That Prefer Higher Temperatures

[Truck]

does anyone have a list of cories that can tolerate temperatures of about 28 oC?

Most can, but your best bets are the sterbai group (sterbai and haraldschultzi), and the gossei group (gossei and seussi).

C. sterbai are probably the most popular, and the most readily available, cory that can be kept in that high (82 F.) a temperature. They are often kept successfully in warm discus tanks. C.oiapoquensis and C. amapaensis could also tolerate this, but are more difficult to find. Similar to corys, Brochis splendens would be OK too. Please keep in mind that this is pretty much the top of the range for keeping corys, so you probably wouldn't want the temperature to go higher at any time.

Guyanian (is that correct?) callichthyids have been coming in decent numbers recently. I'd wager if you tried hard enough, you could definitely procure oiapoquensis. Longnoses are always somewhat more difficult to get ahold of, though.

I can't speak for anyone else, but IME, oiapoquensis doesn't do particularly well in the 80s.
