Corys and Killis
Does anyone keep corys with killies? I'd like to try some peppered corys or cory barbatus in some of my larger killi tanks.

Opinions?

My personal opinion is NO. The corys will consider the killi eyes to be nice snacks. To successfully keep killis you have to breed them (because of their relatively short life spans)

Re: Corys and Killis
Dean,

I've successfully kept and bred Aplocheilus and Epiplatys species of killies with Corydoras catfish.

Tanks were set up bare bith a big clump of Java fern or Anubias, a sponge filter and two floating mops.

I've not tried other groups like aphyos etc since I keep them in smaller tanks as pairs or trios. Aplos and Epiplatys I keep in group situation in larger tanks.

Corys that bred for me with killies were C.paleatus, C.aeneus and C.rabauti. I got eggs from all the killies I kept with corys.

Cheers,

Serkan

I keep corys in all of my killie tanks; baby corys with baby killies. All of my tanks are "natural setups" and consequently will have a mixture of fry with parents and corydoras Never had a problem; they all get along famously.

I have just raised some gardneri Akure Blue fry with albino cory fry. They are all about 2cm now.

I now have some gardneri Akure Blue fry (again) with peppered cory fry they are all just under a cm currently.

I keep Aplocheilus lineatus in a large community with c. aeneus. It has only been a short while, no problems as yet.
