I knew about the frog thing but Corys are armored I figured ACF were at least smart enough to not kill themselves

Re: ACF housed with Corydoras?
How would the frog know it is harmful until it tries? And once he gets the cory in his mouth and the spines get it stuck, it is too late to learn. The other frogs around are not going to be able to figure out what happened and be like, "hmm, wow! I better steer clear of those"
The best thing is not to try a most likely doubly fatal pairing. Doing so is more for your benefit - not the frog's or the cory's.
If you really want ACF, then rehome the cories or buy another tank.
Corydoras are one of my favorite types of fish. But I only have so much room in my house so I had to choose whether I wanted an axolotl tank or a fish tank - it was hard but I choose the axolotls. I knew there was no way of happily combining the two.

Re: ACF housed with Corydoras?
I am not going to do it if its dangerous
Do I have any options? I was thinking of putting in ghost shrimp and I have a weaker filter ... Maybe ADF? I like them more anyway
Re: ACF housed with Corydoras?
As long as the water is under 14 inches they would probably a good addition. This will make your tank stocking very bottom heavy - also I have found that cories surprisingly love bloodworms...so you will have to make sure you get each frog their share of food.
What size tank do you have? Dimensions?

Re: ACF housed with Corydoras?
I have feeding tongs and 25 gallons only have one set of dimensions ... But they are 24x12x20 ... Thats why I was saying I would need to keep the water low but my less powerful filter is an in tank anyway so no problem
Re: ACF housed with Corydoras?
You could probably add a pair of dwarf frogs and be fine. A few top dwellers...maybe a quartet of guppies (1 male and 3 females) would give you some nice top activity and the dwarf frogs would love snapping up some guppy fry snacks

Re: ACF housed with Corydoras?
Ok sounds great but I dont have a quarantine tank.... However what I am thinking as far as stocking ... 6 Ghost shrimp ( they have a VERY low bioload) , 3 ADF, 3 guppies and the 4 corydoras ... my filtration is 30 gallons low flow so it will be good for everyone
