Banjo cats vs. Pygmy Corys

[captmicha]

Before I go and move anyone to a different tank, do you think banjo catfish are likely to eat Pygmy corys? C. pygmaeous (sp?) or the other two dwarf corydoras species?

It's a safe bet that any catfish with a forward facing mouth is going to at least *try* to eat something small enough to fit into it. I can't remember if the cories have the little "gill stabbers" that plecos do, and if that'll be sufficient to help.

They have something worse--locking pectoral fin spines. They can lock these in the 'out' position, which means they can get caught in the mouth of a predator. Not a good combination.

I thought so. Would have been nice but oh well.
