	Multies with Cories ok?
Dempsey fan Mega Fish Posts: 915 Kudos: 201 Votes: 3 Registered: 02-Aug-2000	I was wondering if it's ok to have Multies and Cories together in the same tank? Are they compatible? Also, I plan to breed my Multies, will the cories pose any problems with the fry etc? Any help would be GREAT, thanks!

Both are bottom fish & the Corydoras will be the weaker & may be harmed. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/album?.dir=b5f2 http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
