Pleco and Corys?

lefty31 · 04-04-2011, 12:10 AM

I have a clown pleco so only reach 4-5" max.

Could I do a small group of Corys with this guy or will he cause them havoc?

They would be fine together, I have 2 clown plecs in a tank with about 75 cories.

Plecos and Corys get along fine together. I have 4 tanks with a mixture of both of these. My 55G tank has a 16 inch Pleco and the Corys just move aside whenever the Pleco moves into their area. Make sure your give them both plenty of pellets or the Pleco may hog them. A treat for Plecos and Corys is tiny bits of fresh shrimp.

I also dont see it as a problem. give it a try and watch, that's the best you can do!

They should be fine together so long as they tolerate the same water conditions and there's ample space and food.

100% compatible.

I highly doubt you will ever see interactions between the two species, heck my corydoras could care less about my dwarf plecos but they do like "hitchin a ride" on the banjo cats.

Love those cories but they sure are very rude when scavenging. They get into other fishes face, wiggling their way and they don't even say excuse me.

I never had any problems with plecos and cories getting along only problem i had was the plecoes getting too large for my tanks. Love the way the cories just wiggle in and clean the food from the bottom..
