I've Heard Storys about Large Size Plecos Whip the corys with his tail but never seen it. The Corys are very hardy and one of my fav. It's a must in every aquaria. have you observed them moving their eyes and eve blinking them?? They are simply beautifull. So in My Opinion Get A BIG SCHOOL of Corys if you can Face up make your stand and realize your living in the golden Years |

Correct me if I'm wrong. ![]() In any case, I have my motley cory crew living with a BN and he/she never harms them. She's only about half grown and has grown up with the cories. I've seen her butt her way amongst them to get to food, but never seen any aggression at all. This is the second BN I've kept with this group of cories, and neither ever showed aggression towards the motley crew. ![]() Adding a full-grown BN might pose a problem, but the size you normally find in stores should be fine. They'll grow up with the cories and be used to them. *shrugs* ~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~ |

Just remember, that the more Corydoras you have, the merrier your tank will be. ![]() http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com |

I've never seen any sort of aggression from either the plecs or the BNs toward my multitude of cories, in fact I think the cories actually make the BNs and plecs feel much safer with all the bottom movement ![]() |
