Just wondering if they'd do all right. My two little otos are barely two inches, if that. I'm soon to be setting up a twenty gallon tank, and have always loved catfish. However, I won't get them if they would hurt my otos. I've read that they are peaceful, but I also wanted to read it from someone who has experience.
Thanks!

Cories and otos should be just fine together

I have had a lot of experience with corys.They keep to themselves and are very peaceful. They do well with most fish. They do better in groups of 3 or more of their same kind. It seems they get lonely....

^_^ I am glad to know this. I plan to get at least three.

I have Corys and Otos together and they are fine. They all just go their own way. Corys are not algae eaters and Otos are so even their food needs are different.

^That makes much sense. Thanks.

Yup. Just feed the cory's some shrimp pellets or frozen bloodworms and keep some algae wafers in there for the ottos (or zucchini if you really love them ) and they should do just fine together.

Otos and cory's are peaceful fish, so both should be fine together, especially in such a large tank =]

I just put a big piece of home-grown zucchini in there today, and so far one of the guys is plastered to it. =)
Thanks, guys!
