This is the Adolfoi Corydoras — a compact, high‑contrast twist on one of South America’s most sought‑after Cory species. Instead of the washed‑out look you see in mass‑market imports, this line stays clean, sharp, and unmistakably premium, throwing that signature bright orange crown and jet‑black shoulder band that make the species legendary.
Raised in small, controlled batches right here at the Shed, these fish come in stable, vibrant, and already thriving. No import stress. No mystery genetics. Just clean, boutique‑quality Corydoras with the calm, social attitude hobbyists love.
