 | Cories of a different feather |
Cowch  Fingerling Posts: 41 Kudos: 29 Votes: 0 Registered: 10-Sep-2005   | I have one cory and I know I should get more. The problem is I'm not quite sure what species he is. I think C. Napo. If I get corries of a different species will they all school together? |

sham   Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3369 Kudos: 2782 Votes: 98 Registered: 21-Apr-2004  | Try to get cories of a similar color and then of a similar size. It's not quite as good as having all of the same species but the odd one will still swim with the others and act normally. |

Natalie    Ultimate Fish Guru Apolay Wayyioy Posts: 4499 Kudos: 3730 Votes: 348 Registered: 01-Feb-2003  | Get more Elegans-type corys and you'll be fine. This includes the following species: Corydoras elegans, Corydoras bilineatus, Corydoras nanus, Corydoras undulatus, Corydoras sp. "San Juan", Corydoras guapore, Corydoras mamore, Corydoras latus, Corydoras nijsseni, and Corydoras sp. C41.  I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash. |

| houston Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003 | Try and get some that are similar is size and/or coloration/pattern. I know I have some odd balls in my tank...i mean who can resist the lone cory  i know i can't...So find some at least similar in size...and you'll be good  heidi "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."

| Stuart-in-UK Small Fry Posts: 5 Kudos: 0 Votes: 0 Registered: 17-Sep-2005 | I currently have 7 different cory species in one of my tanks and they seem as happy with the other species as with their own. They don't spend more than 20% of their time looking for their own kind  I'd say so long as they are similar sizes they'll get on great  |
