I have kept many species of cories in community tanks with apistos.  Dispite 
the fact that they both hug the bottom of the tank, I have never seen any 
problems.  I currently have C. aenaus, C. panda, and C. sp. "neon orange 
stripe" in a 55 gallon with A. cacatuoides and A. aggasizii.  Everybody is 
happy.
