New Aspidoras Attacking Cory.

[Kelly-Jo]

I got myself my first aspidoras today and will be finding a few more soon when they have more. I introduced him to the tank where a recovering bronze cory from my main tank is residing (damaged scales). Ever since, the aspy has been sticking to the corys back, face and tail and trying to swim around its body all the time. He's doing no damage as far as I can see, but I'm worried it will stress the cory. I was told and have read that aspys are meant to be shy and retiring...what is he doing?

I think the aspidoras like company (usually of their own kind) and as the cory is the only other one there, he's being friendly. He'll probably leave him alone once you have the others.
