STRIPPED RAPHAEL & CORYS

Post by Elric_Edward »

Hi I have in one tank 2 Lionhead Goldfish, 2 Bronze Corydoras and they gave me 2 Stripped Raphaels. The tank Temperature is 73 - 75 and I want to know if the Raphaels will be fine and if they are not going to end up dining on my Corydoras.

I also want to add 2 Pleckos or Algae eaters for eating algae, will the Raphaels respect them?

Thanks a lot

Best Regards,

Raul

Platydoras costatus are fine with both cories and plecos. Rule of thumb: if its small enough to fit in its mouth... it WILL eat it. A full grown striped raphael's mouth is not big enough to eat a bronzed cory. Good luck finding a pleco.
