They all banded together straight away and are great fun to watch chasing each other, they occasionally pair off before all rushing around the tank. I do not rely on these guys to clean the tank, and feeding time is layered, I feed the platies and barbs first then put in a few pieces of sinking food for the cats, that way they get some good food as well.
Dean March 21, 2003 at 2:13 am: I agree this is an excellent choice for a community tank. This Cory will clean and clean and never bother any other fish. They are very fun to watch.
Mine will go to the corner and swim up and down quickly and then go back to trolling all over the bottom.
Jon Kemerer March 23, 2003 at 2:12 am: I have to admit he was a great addition to my tank. He outlived all the other fish in my tank, including a bala shark, two irr. sharks, and two tiger barbs. He’s one hardy fellow! And definately, if you look at him, he will wink at you. I’m starting a new tank, and I’m making sure I get a few of these guys!
Phil June 5, 2003 at 2:11 am: This fish is great if you have a sand bottom. The barbs on its fins get cought on gravel-mainly larger gravel, and will injury or kill it. It will often travel up and down the side of my tank and sometimes jump out of the water…make sure the lid is down at all times. Great community fish, never bothers anyone else. A rather hardy fish and decent cleaner for its size (mine is about 2″.) Very entertaining with a bubble wall or leave the air stone in the open and it will chase the bubbles up most the the day, not sure why though.

Jonathan September 13, 2011 at 6:22 am: An absolutely delightful little fish. I have a school of 6 and intend to add more soon. Playful, amusing, and efficient bottom feeders. It’s cute watching these fish pal around with each other.
Not difficult to keep, relatively small. Very peaceful, and very nice looking.
