Ery ery with corydoras

[viking252200]

So my ery ery is getting a new and bigger home
and and I was wondering if any of you guys have kept it with corys?

If it has grown out with the cories. Well fed and plenty of hiding places that the red wolf can't snake in there. There's a small chance it'll survive but I think it will likely go after them.

I had planned to put the corys in first and then, after a while the ery...
But I do realize it's quite a risky proposition ...

They are nippy and aggressive small tank mates. Cories can become a statistic in the predator game.

That's an almost exact echo of my thoughts here.

Even if the wolf doesn't "get them" in an attack and kill them outright, him nagging and nipping them and similar smaller injuries to a fish like a cory cat can definitely become infected fairly easily and then you have a completely new issue on your hands.... And a potential much bigger issue.

Nipped fish are prone to getting sick for a number of reasons. Just one of those slippery slopes. My opinion anyway.

thanks for the replies guys...
I agree, the risk to the cories is too big..
Not worth it.
