Re: Corys & Apistos
I've kept cory's with Apisto's in 10 gallon and larger setups without
problewms Had I known there was supposed to be a problem I would have
save my cory's from being brutilized by those mean ol' cichlids!!! But
actually, I never say a problem--no dings, nicks, gouges or missing
parts of fins--but then there are few observations of which cory's have
been involved in this 'problem'. But then too, I've had livebearers
(goodeids) rule cichlid tanks (African and Central american cichlids)
but not the larger guapotes. Who's to say about the behaviour of fish in
all circumstances?

I don't know why you've considered njisseni nasty. I've got several
wild
caught pairs of these fish in with BIVs, E. sexfasciatus, cardinal
tetras,
otocinclus, and D. filementosus. I've only seen aggression directed at
other njisseni and never anything vicious at the other fish.
