    I have bred a few different types of corys in the past, you should find them to be an excellent fit for your discus tank. Don't know of anything peculiar to this specific cory to pass on to you...they are good looking! Smile

    I ran across a link to this site through facebook, and have been impressed with the quality of their content....they list here some good "general" cory tips, as well as info on leucomelas specifically....hope this has been of some help!

    Oh, you meant in my aquarium. Corys, angels, GBR's, plecos, guppies, swords, goldfish, koi, loaches, mollies, discus, apistos, most tetras, some barbs...how about a list of the ones that I don't like. It would only be ones that I don't have...yet.

    First and most obviously a full quarantine before risking your discus. The variety that you selected is a great one for discus tanks since it, like the sterbais and others,tolerates the higher water temps. better.

    They are often caught out of the wild with other varieties that look very similar, (c.agasizzis and c. Gomezi for example) and are often misidentified. Wilds can be very frustrating sometimes to get to spawn, but if you're interested yours come from black waters of the upper Amazon and prefer a sandy bottom with plants and driftwood to pick through. They are omnivores that adapt well to flake and pellet foods as well as black worms for conditioning to spawn.

    Very good choice. Many a cool water cory has been inadvertantly sentenced to a life of stress in aquaria that are too warm.
