Yes a cory will finally kill something besides poop!

why people still think Cories will live off the leftover flakes and grunge on the bottom of the tank? this is a mistake Corydoras need a variety of food just like any other fish ;) belive they dont eat poop.
 
Good luck Bro. I have not even successfully keep cories with bichirs for long as cories will eventually be taken as fish food. You will 1 day wake up seeing a cory stuck in a bichir mouth.

Post us a update of your dead bichirs with cory stuck in its mouth. :)
 
you really want to risk losing a cory and a bichir.
there are brochis(correct spelling?look like cories) species that get big enough not to get eaten by senegals and some other small upper jaw sepcies.
 
depends my bichir is 8" and i feed it very well and it lives with small fish aswell as good sized ones. all its life it has lived with small fish and so its always well fed its fine.
maybe one day it will munch the smaller fish but if i keep it well fed that chance minimises as its 1 hell of a lazy bichir!

i've got a feeder fish living inside the tank which the bichirs didnt want to eat.

anyway, i removed the cories to their own tank already. :headbang2
