i! I was thinking about moving my corys into my 75 gallon Discus tank. The thing is I'm not sure exactly what kind of corys they are. One is an albino and the other is maybe a peppered. I know there are some kind of corys that are comfortable at higher temps (I keep my at 82 degrees) but I'm not sure if all types of corys can handle it. Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have two albino corys in my 37G I keep the temp about 81 and they are doing fine I also have one albino cory in my 5.5G shrimp tank and they are doing great at a temp of 77. I would watch them and see how they do in the Discus tank. When adding fish from one tank to another be sure to acclimate the fish the same as when you bring home a new fish from your LFS/LPS.

I found a link that will help you determine the temperature range for corys. If you know the exact scientific name for the corydoras you have it would help.
Also if you want to change the temperature range in the link you can, and it will further the search. I found even dropping it 1/2 a degree will bring up additional varieties.

I hope this will help you.

Thanks so much for the link.

Most corys will survive in warmer water, but they thrive in cooler water.

I don't think paleatus does very well with super warm water. Sterbai is a good one for warmer discus tanks.
