Loaches And Corys?

[methodmza_uk]

Hi guys,

could comebody answer me this.

I currently have 2 peppered corys and have seen come zebra loaches. I have noticed zebra loaches dont grow to big which is great for me. The question is, are they ok in the same tank???

Many thanks people!!

they should be fine together as neither are territory or aggressive

Ive got peppered cory and zebra loach in the same tank and there has never been any problems whatsoever.Both are really peaceful fish.
Another great thing about the zebra loach is that they are quite active during the day

I think you sould get 3-5 more pepperd cory

Loaches almost get along with any species. @ alex he need minium of one. Cories do best in 3 or more. But 3-5 more would be even better.

I cant fit anymore in there. The LFS man said they would be ok with just 2. I took his word for it as it is a highly reccomended shop in the north west of england. Won awards etc....

Hi,

If you can't fit more corys which grow 3 inches you definately can't fit zebras which grow 4 inches. Both species should be in groups of 3+.
