I'm going to set my 20 gallon up to house a pair of German blue rams and am looking to keep the temperature between 80-82 degrees F.

From my research on the web all I can really find is that Sterbai corydoras are tolerant of these warmer temperatures. Are there other species that would do well in those temperatures?

Or more specifically would the following: Trilineatus, Panda, or Julii; do well in those temps?
 
Sterbais are indeed the best option. Pandas are subtropical so they don't suit well there. If you're looking for other options, trilineatus and paleatus are my other suggested alternatives.
 
I keep albino aneus at 80-86 without issue too.
 
Abinio, bronze / green aeneus. The Sterbia, Albino Sterbia I wouldnt do paleatus they do prefer cooler temps. The lasers also tolerate warmer temps.

Okay, so the pandas are out for sure. Albinos are really cool I had one before, but I am afraid they will blend in to much with my light colored sand.

So, it looks like my options are sterbai and trilineatus.

While I like pretty much all the cories I have seen, I think I like the trilineaus the most. However, most of the sources I had read say they prefer 72-79F, so I really don't want to get them if the higher temps will stress them or cause them a early death.

So, will the trilineatus be healthy and thrive in temps of 80-82F or will that stress them and cause illness?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I want to make an informed decision before I go buy my fishy friends tomorrow.
