Is Pygmy cory safe with Shrimplet?

[Dscheng]

Hi all,

Anyone rear Pygmy Cory with Shrimp? They are rather in dwarf form. Cute in a way. Just wondering if it is safe for shrimplet?

Me! Absolutely adorable fishes! I rear them with fire reds and my tank is still overwhelmed in "redness"

Wow that good !! But they keep search food on the bottom. I am worried they will attack my tiny shrimplet.

Nah I've never seen them attacking a shrimp, but thats cause I've got a colony of cocepods, however they are really gentle fishes!

Yeah, pygmy corys may snack on a few slow or weak newborn shrimplets, but if your shrimp population is large enough and breeding well (and there are sufficient hiding places), most of the shrimplets will survive and quickly grow large enough to be safe from being eaten.

They coexists with my shrimps well too, I still have increasing population of the shrimps
