dwarf vs. "regular" cory

[noelberg]

I plan on getting another cory eventually. I saw a few dwarf cories at a lfs - will they shoal with the peppered and albino? If not i'm asking my other lfs to get some pandas or agazzisi

Different cory species usually only shoal together if they are the same size (and out of necessity). So I doubt dwarf cories that get a little more than an inch will shoal with the ones you have, as they can grow to about 3 in.

As a rule, cories prefer to shoal with their own species and only shoal with others if they have to. Personally I prefer to get proper shoals of the same cory species, for this reason.

I had the mini cory's in the past (5 plus 3 green and 1 albino) and they hung out together. I cant find any locally darn it!! but will definately buy all I can when i do and I just loved my mini corys.

yeah i wish i had found those when i first got fish. but i think the faces on the regular cories look much cuter

thanks for the replies - i think i'll get another peppered cory
