does anyone know if cory cats are egg and fry eaters? being a catfish I would imagine so... let me know. I have clown loaches in my 125 now and I am just really bothered by everyone in my tank being SA and the clown loaches not so I am thinking of replacing them with the larger "emerald green" cories that get to 3"


ps... I didnt mean to post this in the media lounge :(
 
I've been eyeing those too and wondering about the same thing :D

I kept a group of lfs cories in my A. "red ceibal" breeding tank, and they behaved. Not sure about this particular species though.

Well that is a promising experience. They are very attractive and unique in appearance while not getting too big or staying too small so I definitely find them to be of interest. All of the LFS' have them but the trick is finding the right size or hoping they get to 3.5" quick. The clown loaches just really dont fit and its really bugging me :irked:

Looking forward to more experiences. I am also going to check on Planet Catfish.

I thought you meant these http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?fwcatfishc&1262898603 :D
 
john says they are 3.5" and thick. I am going to order 6 and replace my loaches. everything I read says they are peaceful and scavengers so i dont think they will be a problem.

maybe some more opinions this evening...
