I want some. They interest me so much, but the only probablem is that I fear they might eat my cherry shrimp. Otherwise I could always put them in my guppy fry tank. Would they eat guppy fry?

mine don't eat my cherry shrimp, and I wouldn't think they would eat live fish.

From what I've seen, the only thing you have to worry about cories eating are eggs (if you have fish spawn).

Dunno, my cories didn't touch their eggs, I really don't think any shrimps, crayfish, snails, fish, etc are at risk with cories. They're just too safe, lol

Oh cool. I'll go to my wal-mart and pick up some peppered cories. They don't have a label for them so I am putting them down as an algaeeater - $2.00. Its the closest thing to a cory.

So I am assuming cories are fry and shrimp safe.

They have never bothered the guppy fry in my tanks, I think the shrimp would be safe also.

I have Cories in with Guppy fries AND shrimp (RCS and Ghosts). All live in harmony...
