Hello Rob I dont always set my westies up with corys and cardinals. As a matter of fact, my Nanochromis Transvestitus are in with Fundulopanchax Gardneri CI 99 and I keep my Pelvicachromis Taeniatus in with Fundulopanchax Gardneri Makurdi, also keep my Pelvicachromis Subocellatus Matadi in with Aphyosemion Australe Chocolate. So i do like to try and mix my westies with my killies. They make excellent tank mates for eachother. For some reason to conserve on tank space i find killifish make great tankmates for my dwarf cichlids. Cichlids stay down on the bottom and the killies inhabit the top of the tank. Put a couple of floating mops in the tank for the killies to spawn in and i have one tank being used a breeder tank for 2 different species. Plus they look good together.
