Hi Hiro,

I've also kept shoals of cories (C. sterbai, C. arcuatus and others) with Botia 
and Schistura loaches  in 29 and 33-long tanks, and they shared the bottom with 
no problems.  I'm sure it helps that my loaches are not large and that I have 
plenty of little hiding places (rocks, flowerpots, plants) for the loaches. I 
hear some loaches can be territorial, in the sense that they'll fight over the 
best hideouts in the tank  if there aren't enough to go around.
