I would generally recommend against using cories in tanks with breeding dwarfs. Cories are notoriously fond of caviar and wigglers. Aside from the risk of them eating the young, they also inhabit the same bottom space as the dwarfs, and this tends to lead to them always getting beaten on when they invade the dwarf's space. Unless you have a large tank, there just isn't enough space for them to stay out of the cichlid's way. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
