Hi,
I have 2 Cory's and 4 YoYo loaches in my 50 gallon tank and everyone gets along just fine. The Corys are real peaceful fish and doesnt mess with anyone. The loaches dont bother them any either. I think with all the loaches, the more you have the happier they will be. I heard that the cory's like to be in groups also and I plan on adding a few more Cory's to my tank and possibly 2 more YoYo's. YoYos are so fun to watch and I like that they come out during the day and play. I think you just need to decide on what you like. Maybe start with a couple and if you like them, add more to the group.

In my opinion, my yoyos are definately more entertaining then my kuhlis because my kuhliis hardly ever come out. but like raseii said, it depends on what you like.

I have 4 corys and they live happily alongside 6 chain loaches plus the other tankmates without any problems whatsoever. feeding time can be a bit of a frenzy though....

yoyos, kuhlis, and corys all get along fine in my tank. I had a hard time finding the kuhlis until I propped two small rocks up against the front glass, making a litle cave. they now hang out right in the front all the time as apparently they prefer the coziness of the cave more than they mind being watched by passersby.

Here's the kuhli cave in the front of the tank where all can see:

Delta - you sure those are kuhlis? They look an awful lot like dojos to me. Since kuhlis are usually very slim and have that thick stripy pattern, while dojos are brow-ish and a lot bigger and stuff. Could be wrong. But so it seems. Sorry for going off topic

I am pretty sure they are black Kuhlis.

They look just like them. The Dojos look very speckled and have different faces.

They should get along fine. I have clown loaches with some cory cats.

Those are black kuhlis, they are really more brownish than really black. They look exactly like my black kuhlis. Those are just well fed black kuhlis.

And I agree that loaches and cories get along well. I've actually found black kuhlis to be more active than striped ones, but that could be because my blacks are older.

Yeah I DO have fat black kuhlis. I feed them well. They are an excellent companion for cory cats and for yoyos too. They all dig around in the gravel eating up every tiny bit of food present.
