Hi everyone,

I will be getting some of Mustafa's crays (FINALLY!!!!!) and I was wondering at the size that we get them; will they be OK with corries?

Thanks,

TKD

Mustafa just updated his article on keeping dwarf shrimp. Give it a read. One of the hhhtings he says is:

Suitable tank mates are fish that have specialized mouths such as Otocinclus, cories and most vegetarian plecos (Ancistrus species are best)

Baby crays are about the size of baby shrimp, so I think they'd be safe too. Since they stay with mom for a while they get better protection too.

I would worry about the corries beating them up a bit...with my experiences with corries, they're peaceful but they pretty much run into everything carelesly
