Lots of good information on them there.

Not sure I agree with this page. They seem more interested in telling
the reader about sharp barbs and poisons than about the absolutely
peaceful, gentle, and playful nature of this species. I also disagree
with the feed only at night - Feed right along with your other fish
during the day time, and if they are in a community tank, an algae
disc or a couple of sinking pellets might be a nice "after lights out"
treat.

And please, never put just one or two corys in a tank. They are so
much more active and playful when they have a few other of their kind
around, they don't even have to be the same kind of corys, they school
together and play nice with other corys regardless of size, color,
race, religion, national origin, sexual preference, physical ability,
etc. A single cory in a tank may spend most of its day in a shady
spot, out of the way, waiting for someone to come out and play. This
may lead the fishkeeper to think they are more night active. Believe
me, given some friends, all of my cories are very active all day, and
rest quietly at night.

(I think this is directed at me, after I commented that I don't fully
agree with Wiki Aquarium's entry on a certain corydoras. Please,
people, include enough of the post you are responding to so that we
don't have to guess what you're talking about.)

I have not paid much attention to Wiki and I haven't any interest in
actively participating. I don't feel I have the expertise to
contradict an existing entry on this particular topic, but I also
question the background of the individual that posted it there. I see
this as a potential clash, and I simply don't have the inclination to
get into whatever political dynamics that make Wiki what it is.
Perhaps I'll explore Wiki Aquarium sometime in the future when I have
time to discover a new web frontier.
