    Welcome to AQ.com Vic.
    Corys will not nip the fins of other fish...They will eat fry though as Simon said.
    You sure that the tails is not going white? if it is could be fin rot..

    Oops, forgot to add...corys will eat anything that falls to the bottom, they are scanvangers. You can buy special catfish pellets though, they love those...

    basically, i feed my cories with beefheart, tetrabits, mysis shrimps, brine shrimps and blood worms and i find that as long as they are food, they will eat them with gusto... [] but they are definitely safe to other fishes..[] and welcome to AQ[]
