Hey Steve.
I'd just like to add a minor proviso to what ShoC said. For the most part, corys are peaceful BUT some of the elegans species can get quite pushy when they're in the spawning mood. They don't bite or nip but they will chase other fish away. Just thought I should clarify. Cheers. |

Some gouramis can be agressive with Corys. Corys in general are very shy. Some gouramis will torment them and drive them into hiding.

corydoras are like one of the most peaceful fish in the world lol they don't have teeth, so they can't eat the majority of fish eggs so some fish that have just laid eggs even allow corys to get closer than other fish to them.
they also have so much character and they are one of my favourite fish

I've seen mine eat their own eggs. The take them into their mouth and do a kind of quick twisting motion to tear the eggs away from whatever they were stuck to. So far I haven't seen them eat other fishes' eggs but then again I have SEEN other other fishhes' eggs. Cheers. |
