Corys with L numbers

Post by Leopardfrogplec »

Can I keep a group of 5 Corydoras panda with a pair of Peckoltia compta? :-?? I thought it might work, because the L numbers are more interested in things like bloodworm and tablets than algae and small flakes, but I wanted to check before I buy.
There should be a GCSE for catfish. Or a SATs paper, which is closer to me. At least we don't have to do Science.

I wouldn't put C. panda in with P. compta. The C. panda will like cooler temperatures than you want for the P. compta. There are several other corys, such as C. sterbai, C. similis or C. metae (or C. robineae) are in my experience tolerant of temperatures around 27'C for long periods of time.
