barthog1 Fingerling Posts: 38 Kudos: 44 Votes: 25 Registered: 16-Apr-2005	Can anyone suggest other species of coydoras which will get along with my 6 peppered little guys? I seem to have aquired an addiction to these guys and would love to add to the the tribe.

If tank is big enough, all corys are safe to go with one another, the bigger ones prob. best kept with ones around same size, just in case they out compete the dwarfs for food. i have 7 cory juilli and 2 sterbi in one tank and 4 cory peppered in another, once they were altogeter had no problems. it is best if have at least 6 of what ever kind, but i know that is never always possible. shekoi www.blooming-brilliant.co.uk

If you'll add more Peppered Corydoras they'll be more happy. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ Last edited by jasonpisani at 22-Apr-2005 12:37 http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

You could get maybe: 6 peppered corys 6 bronze or albino corys 6 sterbai or trilineatus or julii corys 6 panda corys Or 8 peppered corys 12 habrosus or any other tiny cory like pygmaeus, hastusus or panda. The second choice would be a maniac tank!
