So I added 4 peppered cory cats to my main tank over the weekend, and have a few questions.
1) Are angels and cory cats compatible? I believe yes, but saw my biggest angel lunge at one of the cory cats. I think it was because the cory was sitting still, but just wanted to be sure.
2) How can I get food past the 3 little pigs? (otherwise known as my angels)
3) I have a 55G, it now has 3 small angels and 4 peppered cory cats, once everything is settled will I be overstocked if I add 4 more peppered cats?
4) Do cory cats filter sand through their gills? I was watching and kept seeing them blowing sand out through them. Just curious.
5) Are the cats easy to sex?
6) Are the cory cats ok in 78F? I keep the tank a little warmer for the angels, but not sure if I should lower it.
After putting the cats into the 55G I noticed one of my angels try to school with the cats (all 4 were swimming together, the angel decided to join in). I also discovered my angels like algae wafers (dropped one in for the cats, they were eating it until an angel came over and decided he wanted it for himself). My angels also now have some competition for food on the bottom! (I constantly see them nose down picking at things off the floor).
Thanks.
