Yes I do have them in a nice sized shoal.

[gm72]

Very cool. I have 2 shoals, 11 and 12 members, respectively. Very fun to watch.

Yeah,they are a lot of fun.

How many do you have together?

[Evil Slimy]

The barbels look rather stubby in the picture. Maybe the gravel's a bit harsh on them? Or could be just the picture...

No this fish just has a big belly.The gravel is smooth.I have found what people say about substrate and cories is a little exagerated.I think you would need very sharp gravel to actually damaged their barbells.

Yes, a little exaggerated. Substrate cleanliness and diet play a role in it as well. Either way they are not supposed to look like sticks. They are supposed to look like this: http://www.slimyfrog.com/40g/images/img_2150.jpg
