Will cory cats eat fry.

Okay so I looked online before I created this thread but I noticed both answers. I figured Id create this thread to more personalize the answers to my situation. Okay so I have a tank with 9 African cichlid fry they are about half an inch. I have them in a 30g L it's length is 36" with sand bottom. I have a few (6 but I'd probably only move over 3) albino/peppered Corys in my 55g community tank that I could move over to the 30 to work as a clean up crew. Being summer I no longer have school and I feed my fry about 3-5 times a day. These Corys would just be here to clean up the food the fry miss. They are about 1 1/4 in. I doubt they would eat the fry but I'm just looking for a second opinion.

The shouldn't. Corys eat fish eggs like pros, but I have never observed corys eating free swimming fry especially as large as yours are.
