Is a Dinosaur Bichir compatiable with 2+ Cory Catfish?
From what I've seen and heard, the Dinosaur Bichir isn't exactly the friendliest fish in the world. But recently I have seen a post suggesting that if in groups Cory Catfish can survive with a Dinosaur Bichir. I just want to know if they won't starts fights off the bat.

I have 2 Dinosaur Birchirs. I love them. I would suggest to get them at a small size so they can grow up with the cory's. Also, keep the dinosaurs well fed. If they aren't hungry they won't go after other tank mates.
Birchirs love to eat snails. I keep the birchirs well fed and all four of my snails are still alive.
They are really easy to take care of. Just a few things I have learned in the 2 years that I've had mine. They will nip fish with long flowy fins, ex: Gaurami's, Comet gold fish, & bettas. They will also nip at fish that are brightly colored, ex: blue, purple, bright red. They seem to do well with fish that are earthy colors, ex: brown, white, black, tan, grey

No the Cory cats will get eaten if the bichir is large. Both fish stay low to the tank bottom so it is a sure thing the Cory cats will get eaten. Bichir won't start fights it will just eat the Cory cats. One by one.
Don't risk it !

A fully grown Bichir will probably eat a cory catfish. While they are the same size they might be OK, but bichir are a large and predatory fish, their natural food is small fish. Cory cats are small fish....
