Bronze, Albino Or Peppered Corydoras?

[Ginty]

Which one is easiest to keep?
Just want views and opinions. Doing a bit of research on corydoras.

I have peppered corys, I haven't lost many over the years. They are a peaceful bunch (I have six at the mo) and generally just mooch about in the sand, they are less greyhounds but more like a homely, comfortable dogs if you see what I mean.

i have bronze cories and have had peppred cories. must admit that i prefer the peppred ones.

Bronze and albino corydoras are the same species. I prefer the albino variety because I love albino fish, but both the bronze and albino varieties are very hearty. I've never kept the peppered. If you choose peppered corydoras, be sure your LFS (if sourcing them locally) understand the difference between the salt and pepper and the peppered cory. These are two separate species with different needs. The salt and pepper is one of the three pygmy varieties of cory while the peppered is much chunkier.

Peppered corys need a cooler temperature than a lot of corys so take that into account when stocking, they're a long lived fish so keeping them at higher temperatures will shorten their lifespan

My temperature is set at 25°c and i have 3 danios 2 guppies 4 platties and 2 guppies.

That's a bit warm for peppered, they prefer it around 20-22c

I thought so.
Would my best option be the bronze?
I will change my substrate before i get any though as i have big white stones at the moment

Platies, guppies and especially danios would all be happy at lower temps than 25oC.You could take it down to 22o with no problems.

Ive actually looked at my temps i got it wrong my temp is actually 24°c and my heater hasnt even been on. Thats just room temp.
