Brachyrhamdia meesi bad behavior

[corybreed]

I have had eight Brachyrhamdia meesi in a 30 gallon quarantine tank for about a month. Last week I couldn't resist a group of giant Brochis multiradiatus. They have been in the same tank for a few days and the Brachyrhamdia have really done a job picking at the fins of the Brochis. I removed the Brochis to another tank this morning. I have never kept Brachyrhamdia before, Is this normal behaved for this fish. Can I keep them with Corydoras or any other fish for that matter.

I cannot help from personal experience. But one of the few sites I trust to provide for information may have your answers:

Here is one of the other sources I use and it is also interesting in its information regarding meesi and corys. However, they do note cory fins might be nipped. More interesting is it says the meesi will often school with corys and more:

Hopefully somebody else with actual experience can offer some hands on advice. In any case it looks like you have some really neat fish there.

I've had B meesi, but not with Corydoras. No fins were nipped
