Cory Preds?

I was wondering what eats cories in nature?

Is it available/keepable in the hobby?

I realize this is sort of an odd question, but I figured whatever it was would have to be pretty specialized to deal with the spines and all.

In one word 'Hoplias' they are evil fish, I know of a 12' specimen that would willingly take a couple of fingers off in one bite and be straight back for the rest. Cory spines are no match for this beast.

Is 12' in fact 12 feet and not a posting error?

That should have been 12 inches.

Its range is fairly wide spread throughout central and northern South America.
