Hey guys, I have a 29 gallon planted South American tank setup with 12 neon tetras, 5 serpae tetras, 4 oto cats, and soon 2 SA cichlids, but I'd really like to get some sort of cory for this setup as the neons are sometimes too timid to eat and the food drops to the bottom. If I have corys will they eat this food before it can ruin water quality? And would it be alright to get a small school, maybe 3 or 4 with my current stock list?

The cories should be fine. groups of 4 are nice. Lots of types of cories. I am a fan of sterbai corydora. I would be more worried about the cichlids with neons.....
The cichlids are a dwarf species, they only get to be about 3.5 inches. I'm hoping their mouth won't be big enough for the neons, which I'm growing out a little before I add the cichlids. Haha.
Either way, don't be shocked if you lose some neons,lol. Might have better luck with cardinals... They get a little bit bigger than neons...at least the ones i have had.
I have a few Albino cory's, they do eat some of the food but at this time they are pretty small, they should work, i have mine in with 30 + tetras, a few cichlids, and an eel. they all get along good with no problems. hope you have the same result!!!!!!
