FrozenFins Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I wouldn't do corydoras with shrimp as the corydoras will probably eat them. If your looking for a cleanup fish you could always do pygmy corydoras, snails 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_ball34 Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Panda are a smaller cory they would probably eat the little shrimp but the adults should be ok as long as you feed well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanni Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I'm pretty sure that everything should be fine. I have a very similar combination as well and it plays out really well. I don't think that the corys would be a threat to the shrimp. If the betta has gotten along with the shrimp, you should have no problem with adding 3 corys. Try to get some more plants or cover too, I'm sure that the shrimp would appreciate a little more cover. It's not necessary but it would most likely be appreciated by all the fish and shrimp in the tank. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Not so sure about the Cory cats? Maybe pygmaeus or Pygmy cory. I am thinking larger Corydoras (would purchase 6-8) might be to active in a ten gallon and drive the shrimp to some stress? Whatever you decide i would target feed bottom dwelling animals. Sometimes as hobbyist people think the clean up crew gets plenty to eat. This only happens if we are over feeding. Easier to target feed and control water parameters and algae. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
