hi,
my tank is soon going to be subtropical 20-21C is it ok to keep my bronze corys in there still, i know they can adapt to most situations, will subtropical be ok for them?
Thanks

lowest temp for bronze would really be 22C to be pedantic. Youre ideal cory would be c. paleatus / peppered cory for the temp you have...

20C would be OK but I wouldnt lower the temp more than that. In their natural habitat, the temp is usually 19C-25C but during the breeding season, the temps drop to around 16C

TBH I wouldnt do this. Only when they are mature and you want to breed them, then lower the temperature. For the moment, keep the temp around 21C
