Will He Be Lonely?

[myrtle]

Hi, recently I bought a tank with fish which included 3 Panda cories. However, on closer examination, one of the Pandas appears to be Corydorus metae instead. Will he/she be OK without any other metae (I'm pretty certain it's metae and not melini planetcatfish is great!)? There are also 3 Peppered cory there too.
Thanks.

I'd suggest that you watch him and see. Does he swim around with the others, or does he lurk on his own at the back? Some will happily hang out with other species of cory - you'll be able to tell if he's lonely.

My albino bronze cory seems to think he's a trilineatus, follows them around and hardly ever swims round with the other bronzes at all - I think that might be because he's still a youngster, more the size of the trilineatus. It'll be interesting to see if he swims with the big boys when he gets bigger!

Ive noticed that most types of cory mix well with other types. I used to have bronze, peppered, and albino, they swam around together fine.
