Who Gives A Fish Forums

Yeah I know they do best in groups, I've had cories forever. Got 3 more peppered cories in a grow-out, just waiting for them to size up, then they'll join the other 2.

I'd also advise against the Peppered Cory Catfish, they'd likely struggle with the Malawis, especially if they're not familiar with the L001. If the L001 is quite large, it might just be able to hold its own, but I'm not so sure about the Corys.


The peppered cories have been in there for months ...

Cheers reefstar, appreciate the heads up. I think I'll steer clear of adding them to my tanks for now. That link you sent over sounds like a good read, might just look into setting up a separate tank for the clams instead.

Quick one, are freshwater clams alright in a Malawi setup? Got a Yellow-Spotted Plec (L001) and some Peppered Cory Catfish in there too - would the clams fit in with these lot?
