Comet Chasing My Corys

[sharpshooter73]

Any reason why my comet goldfish is chasing my corys? It also tries to bully them away from the food when they're eating their algae chips.

the reason is you have mixed a coldwater fish (comet)
with tropical fish (cories).
goldfish will eat anything they can fit into their mouths, this includes other fish.

I suggest that you re-home one of the species (preferably the comet as they
are more suited to a pond and need 20gallons for itself) and then get the enviroment
correct for the species that you keep.

Good advice... I will rehome him this weekend. Thank goodness he was only 29 cents! LOL
