Corys schooling

[leek86]

Will different variants of city school/shoal together ie panda and hasbrosus?

I think different Cories school together , I've never tried it myself but many people have. Panda Cories I do have though . I notice mine seem to go off in 3s and 4 s and only school together for feeding or sleeping and when they're scared

My marmer skinned and aenus black(sorry for misspellings) shoal together fine. Even better when predatory fish are near

 

[leek86]

Hmm are there any other small "dwarf" cory other than Pygmy, hasbrosus, panda?

 

[Shadownova]

They will school together as long as they are in a big enough group

They'll hang out together but you won't see a big school of cories swimming together.

They'll establish a place where they all hang out and hide and then go out and play mostly individually.

C. hastatus and C.cochui. The latter is often confused with C. habrosus, and is very rare.

Do you mean all Cories get bigger than 5 inches ? I didn't get that because if that is what you meant then they don't

No. Not all specie of Corydoras get bigger than 5 inches. Some smaller species aside from the Panda, Pygmaeus, and Habrosus are Hastsus. My Pygmaeus and Habrosus sometimes school together but for the most part stick with their own specie.

 

[Samzter]

Yeah. Because i thought they meant that all Cories get bigger than 5 inches

 

[FishieMomma]

My Cories do not school together. I have albinos and panda.

 

[Samzter]

I was thinking , could it be size difference? ...

 

[Aquatic_Adam]

Eh...maybe. My Pygmaeus and Habrosus are pretty similar but it's not a real school. Just occasionally intermingle.

 

[leek86]

I ask because I read they need to be kept in groups, but id like a bit of diversity.
