Cories and skunk botias?

[~A betta named Mowgli~]

I have heard that cories and skunk botias are not always good together. I really want some skunk botias with my cories but I'm concerned with compatability.

What could I do to prevent aggression if I were to get some skunk botias?

Not an awful lot. They are fin nippers.

Skunk loaches are real SOBs! mean suckers for their size

I had four in a tank with two Cories. The Cories lasted quite a while, but then one suddenly died and a few days later the other one turned up missing an eye. I had heard a rumor that Skunks would eat eyes. I guess I should have listened.

I don't think it would be a good idea to have Skunks and Cories in the same tank.

The four I have are going to end up in an "Agressive" tank. They don't seem to get long with most community fish.
