Bronze Cories & Shrimps?

Unread post by Naufil »

Are Bronze Corydoras compatible with shrimp in a planted tank?
They have tiny mouths, so I was wondering if they will eat shrimps or leave them alone.

Yes Sai :)

Naufil, if you want to keep shrimps and breed and make a colony then better to avoid adding cory with them, the colony might not thrive fully as there will be some predation on the baby shrimps...

However if you just want to keep shrimps not concerned about breeding etc then fine :)

My friend has 3 Albino variants of bronze corys. I was planning to buy them.
Albino corys are fairly regular in Delhi LFSs. Don't know about the genial ones.
