Bully Corys?

NeonShark666 · 05-30-2011, 02:32 PM

Has anyone run into a Green Cory that is a bully to other species of Corys? Two of my Julies ended up with shredded fins but six Green Corys didn't. Two of the Greens were large, more than 3 inches.

I've got several cories together including green cories and haven't had that kind of problem. Are you sure its the cories doing it and not something else? What size of tank are they in.

Never had a problem with my cories. I have 8, including green cories and albinos. Even the smallest cories do fine with the larger greens.

I have one emerald green cory in with three Albino Corys and he schools right along with them but there is one albino cory that he will not leave alone. There have been no shredded fins but it looks as though he is actually trying to mate with the albino.

I've only heard of cories being sweet and social to each other. I'm guessing other fish are to blame for the torn fins. Hope you can figure out who's behind it and stop it.
