Dwarf/Pygmy Cory Question

I have a 10g shrimp only tank and I'm considering getting 2-3 Corydorus Habrosus(dwarf/pygmy cory) or otto cuz they stay small n other ppl thru out this forum seems to have success with them together with red cherry shrimps. Plus they look adorable!! I've researched alot on them and the suitable Ph for them seems to be around 7.

My question is, are they able to adapt to higher ph like other fishes? My tap before and after going into tank is 7.8-7.9.

Anyone got experience with these little fellas?

I don't know about them specifically, I know I will be getting some very soon though because they are awesome. Anyway, I think they probably are like most fish, can tolerate different ph's just not large ph swings. Stable rather than fiddling with it, u know? Maybe someone has a different opinion.
 
I have 2 corydoras and they are extremely tough, they should be able to survive. But you should do a 25% water change to see if it lowers your ph level.
