Range: Brazil: Upper Rio Negro, Rio Uaupés
Reproduction: Attaches eggs to plants or on the aquarium glass.
Feeding: Omnivorous and carnivorous, prefers sinking foods.
Additional Comments: Very popular as a 'scavenger' for planted community tanks. Corydoras appreciate fine sand (eg 1-2mm) without sharp edges and they prefer to be kept in a school rather than just 1-2 fish. Adolfoi is one of the more colourful types, developing a prominent yello-orange shoulder.
