What Corys Can Withstand A Higher Temp Then Other Corys, As Im Having

What corys can withstand a higher temp then other corys, as im having a golden nugget, and also hat somm corys , would you be able to upload a picture of the cory or send a link please.

golden nugget plecs require a temp between 24c-28c so just about all corydora are compatable within the temperature. i would google the cory's you like and find out there specific needs

Would look for Sterbai Corydoras if catfish were to be kept much higher than 24 degrees c.
Many temperature ranges for fish that are listed are possibly in my opinion,, associated with different seasons found in wild when these fish used to be largely wild caught. Some species are still wild caught. Temps could also reflect different times of day, or temps for breeding purposes. In the wild, fish can move from uncomfortable temps to deeper water where temperatures are cooler or to shaded areas. In a closed system (aquarium) this is not the case. Have found that corydoras will do much better in cooler temps in the long term. Sterbai corys are often kept with Discus and don't seem to mind the 82 to 86 degree f temps that many who keep discus keep their fish in.
Would always shoot for temp range in the middle of a fishes range rather than upper or lower end of the range listed.IMHO

My GN plec is living quite happily with my Juliis at a temp of 26c.

Corydoras have been reported to live five to seven years in ideal enviornment. At warmer temps,metabolisim of fish is much higher. Many of the corys live but one or two years perhaps shorter,in warmer temperatures In my expierience. Opinions vary.

Hi Sub-tropic-discus

C. sterbai is the usual cory for warm water tanks. It lives in a range between 75-82 F.

Like any cory, they require very clean water and this might be a problem with a big pleco. Another thing to consider is that an 8" pleco thrashing about in a small area could injure the much smaller corys. If your tank isn't large, with lots of open space, keeping them together might not be the best idea.
