Will Cory Cats eat Shrimp fry?

[NYCguppydude]

Hello All
I just recently received a large group of Peppered Paleatus Cories. They are the most amazing little things I've ever seen. I got them from a member here in AC he also has them on aquabid he goes by RedKahuna and he is a very cool guy. Here's a link to an auction. http://www.aquabid.com/cgi-bin/aucti...shc&1243711087 I was wondering if I should rehome my starter colony of Red Cherry Shrimp. Can anyone tell me without a doubt if they would eat or harm shrimp fry.

I have corys and shrimp in the same tank. I haven't seen them take any interest in the shrimp at all. I would wait and see what our shrimp people on here think.

I keep cories, guppies, snails and RCS all in the same tank without any problems. I was looking today to see if any population had dropped and it doesn't appear any have. If anything, other than the cories, the snails and the shrimp seem to be increasing their populations.

My Cherries are also housed with cories......no fatalities that I know of.....population BOOMING!

Haha, corys are way too oblivious to even notice the adult shrimp.

Thank you all for your quick response to my query. I can now rest assured that my Red Cherry Shrimp won't get decimated.

Well Well Well Thanks for the plug I do appreciate it. I also am glad that you asked this question now when my hinos come in I wont be afraid to put my habrosous breeders with them.

I should have noted that I have bronze/green cories from the big redkahuna and they are the most active, healthy, and fun to watch cories I have ever had.

I drop in 3-5 algae or vegetable wafers in the tank and watch them go to town! It is funny to watch 5-6 pile up on a wafer and then along comes some guppies trying to weasel their way in. After all that commotion, along comes one of the spixi's and literally sits on top of it trying to bogart it and somewhere in all that the RCS get their share! :rofl:

It's a fun tank to watch.
