Tank-Raised Corydoras Adolfi
Corydoras adolfi is often mixed up with the similarly patterned C. sterbai, and honestly the two are close enough in the wild that hybridization happens naturally where their ranges overlap — adolfi tends to run slightly more orange through the pectoral fins and a touch more contrast in its spotting. Tank-raised stock like this skips the wild-import stress entirely, arriving already acclimated to aquarium life.
