and i just love him to pieces. he is in a planted tank with hairgrass and dwarf baby tears and other grass like goundcover plants with a bunch of caves and spaces. my question is could i put maybe 2 or 3 corydoras in with him? I have always loved cories and would like to try them but i dont want him to end up eating them. He ate all of the fish i have placed in there so it isnt so still all the time. Or is he better offwithout anything in there?Question about Turgidus tankmates

Question about Turgidus tankmates
So i have a beautiful turgidus named Devlin <---- see profile pic and i just love him to pieces. he is in a planted tank with hairgrass and dwarf baby tears and other grass like goundcover plants with a bunch of caves and spaces. my question is could i put maybe 2 or 3 corydoras in with him? I have always loved cories and would like to try them but i dont want him to end up eating them. He ate all of the fish i have placed in there so it isnt so still all the time. Or is he better offwithout anything in there?

Re: Question about Turgidus tankmates
I wouldn't put anything in a tank with a turgidus. The turgidus would very probably eat it, like you already have experienced. Besides, cories are to be kept in groups. 2-3 cories would not be happy. I would never keep less then 5-6 cories together. But keep the cories out of the turgidus' tank if you love them.
