yeah... they must be pretty big and fat to avoid the bichirs attempts to eat it. once that snakehead of yours gets over 12" they're gonna be dinner, though.Malcus;578236; said:
keeping corydoras with bichir

i have a 2" albino cory in with my 8-9" ornate and 5" albino senegal and they never try to eat him although they easily could. then again i had about 5 panda cories in there with him at about the same size and they ate them. maybe they dont like white? lol
maybe it has to do with your feeding regimen. I know a woman who keeps a 12" dog face puffer in her reef tank full of hard corals, snails, and yummy crustaceans, and he hasn't tried to eat one yet, because she keeps him full all the time. I couldn't beleive it until I saw it. I guess your bichirs are usually well fed, but on that particular day you may have forgotten to feed them so they found it necessary to supplement their diet with cories.JCA;578302; said:
I would avoid putting cories with any fish that might eat it. when it is threatened or gets eaten, cories often make their top fin stand up. this can injure or kill a fish.
hmm.. well i decided to go with a synodontis instead. im going to pickup 2 later. i dont want to take the risk in getting cory's..
question is, do they eat left over pellets as well as cory's?

I think im going to move my channa to my 142 gallon tank later, when he grows bigger.
How big can a gachua be? I thought that they cant be bigger then 6" (15cm).
I ceep a 8" notopterus notopteus with the corydoras too...

synodontis are really nice fish, and they'll probably complement your other fish better than the cories would anyways. I find that cories go best in a community tank, in groups of 5+
