Apisto's And Corys

[johnny70]

Hi

Doing a South American Tank, having a trio of apisto's not sure what variety yet, can corys be kept succesfully with apsito's? will be having some tetra's and some pencils as well, very heavily planted and a lot of bog wood, small rounded gravel substrate.

Cheers
JOHNNY

yes that should not be a problem at all.....corys are great little fishes and should notbe bothered by the cichlids at all

ive sucsessfully kept corys with angels and keyholes until igave them to my cory loving sister....

drawf cichlids are relitivly peaceful fish

Dwarf cichlids are "normally peaceful" though my apisto attacks other fish. I actually watched it flare at my sajica and chase the sajica around the tank earlier. Though my Apisto is just weirdly aggressive.

Breeding they are a tad aggressive and will probably go for smaller fish. Cories also don't seem to understand territory so will swim around, get attacked and then swim back again after a short time in my experience.
