I don't think it would eat the corys. With the tetras it would depend on what size they are. Synos aren't really predatory, but if, let's say, a neon got too close, it might get snapped up.

The opsodoras should be ok with the tetras & corys. If you leave the syno & striped raph together the raph will need a few caves that the syno cant get into - relevant diameter pipes would fit the bill.

yea well its going into my dads tank and he tends to kill expensive fish. its only fish over 20 dollars lol yea well it they have stoped fighting and have calmed down i poked the syno with the end of a long net. my raphel has a cave where the syno cant get to it and the Opsodoras wont stop trying trying to take the raphel and synos spots but the raphel lets him with him a lot they came from the same tank at the pet store. i might get some leaf fish and a lot of danios.
