Yes Another "Will These Species Co-Exist Question"

[Arashi]

I've got a 10 gallon set up and ready for fish. I've decided to go with Killis, one male and two females...probably Yellow Panchax, as they are the only kind I can get around here (unless I order online). I would also like to add a few cory cats. But I wanted to know if I should worry about the Killis eating the corys...I know they have voracious appetites, and I'm a bit worried that the corys will become lunch.

Thanks in advance guys!

I'll take the risk and say there shouldn't be a problem with having either in your tank, as they inhabit different levels of the tank so aren't in direct competition to each other.

Thats exactly what I was thinking, kribsinvcrib. I just didn't want to take any chances, hope I'm right, and then look in the tank one morning to find fat happy Killis and no corys. I would feel so horrible if that happened.

ya, just get a little surface vegitation and the killies won't even bother going below the middle, if that far even.

A full grown cory should be fine

Wonderful news! Thanks everyone. The Killis that are at my lfs are pretty small yet...the males are probably only about an inch and a half long. They also have full grown corys (that I believe are either julii or trilineatus, not sure) so the corys will actually be bigger than the Killis when I first buy them. And if they don't get along? Well, I can always put the corys in a different tank...I've got plenty of room.

Once again, thanks very much to all who responded!
