Do they share exact biotopes with eachother? If so which species? Im doing up a 20G biotope pond and want both to be included. Thanks in advance

Yes they do. To quote just one example, <i>Carnegiella strigata</i> and <i>Gasteropelecus sternicla</i> have been collected with <i>Corydoras guapore</i>, <i>C. hastatus</i> and <i>C. leucomelas</i>.

A small change in plans!

I snatched up a chocolate cichlid since my Hatchets didnt come in so now I need cories from their range( Rio Amazonas drainage, in the Rio Ucayali and Rio Amazonas drainages in Peru, the Rio Amazonas drainage in Colombia, the Rio Solimôes-Amazonas in Brazil, east to Cametá, also rivers of Amapá, Brazil, and the Rio Oyapock drainage in Brazil) rather than the hatchets. I would however still like to include the hatchets if they share habitat with the chocolates. Thank you for the previous reply and sorry for the continued annoyance

Here are (some of) the cory species of interest:
Oyapock River - <i>C. condiscipulus</i>, <i>C. oiapoquensis</i>
Solimoes River - <i>C. elegans</i>, <i>C. evelynae</i>, <i>C. semiaquilus</i>
Amazonas River - <i>C. agassizii</i>, <i>C. eques</i>
These are just a few of the <i>Corydoras</i> you'll find in these drainages, since the area you're interested in is vast and there are plenty more <i>Corydoras</i> found there.
You might want to search FishBase for a more complete listing.
