Cory's And Plecos

[blueboy1]

I'm interested in getting some Cory's for my two hundred litre tank but can they go with bristlenose catfish?
I have one 5-6 inch male and a slightly smaller female as well as 5-6 juveniles swimming about the tank?

Can't see any issues; my cories lived with a couple of BNs for a long time without problems.

Ok thank you so much was worried because according to some yahoo users cories will eat plecos !

I don't think I'd trust most of the yahoo fish answers
 
I have a BN with my cories and they're fine.

 

[blueboy1]

Ok so even if one or the other have babies they should be ok?

Some of my cories have bred with a BN or other plec in the tank.

Whaaaat... What did they look like, that's becoming friendly on another level

 

[noobgamers]

yes of course they can with no complication

Corys will eat plecs? Whaaaaaaat, How big are these corys @.@

 

[blueboy1]

yes of course they can with no complication

I guess with them such similar species, I would love to see the young!!

Lol, I meant the cories bred (with each other! I had CW021 at the time) in a tank that also had a BN living in it!
 
I didn't mean I had BN x corydoras fish! That would be biologically impossible, they're not closely related enough. Some bristlenoses will breed with other species of bristlenose, and some cories will hybridise with other corydoras species, but not with each other.

Ohhhh lol I feel dumb!!

Don't feel dumb; we all have to learn, we're not born knowing this stuff!

In my larger tank I have a school of Cory's in with 4 Plecs. The Cory's laid their eggs around a month ago so I don't think you'll have any problems.
