Trachelyopterichthys Taeniatus care

[exasperatus2002]

I understand they grow to 6". Would they be ok housed with Corydoras?

I kept mine with cories and experienced no issues; mine was pretty small, though. I wouldn't cohabitate taeniatus with species small enough to be eaten pretty easily (c. habrosus or pygmaeus, for instance), but the vast majority of cories won't be eaten. Think they get a bit bigger than 6" (SL, at any rate) but I'm not completely certain.
Only big issue I encountered keeping this species is that mine was extremely emaciated when I obtained it and was very difficult to feed (think it was due to its poor condition). Only way I could get it to eat was if I infused bloodworms with garlic and fed it in a separate container.

Yes, they will be fine. Their mouths aren't that big for the size of fish they are so even full grown they are OK with adult corys.
