Can corydoras eat apisto fry occasionally?

The eggs is a delicacy for them, but fry? From what I have read the "rule" say no, but I think that it's possible to happen occasionally, being fish that loves live food (especially on the bottom), and very active nocturnal.
If they found during the night some fry resting on the bottom (even in a inappropriate cave) they will eat them? Can accidents happen?
What you can say based on your experience?
Thanks,
Dan
PS: I don't have anymore corydoras in my tanks, is just a curiosity.

The corys can and will predate on fry, especially young fry and eggs, day and night. They will also face the wrath of an angry mother.

That's why I said "rule". I had a discussion with somebody who pretend that they eat only the eggs, and because I couldn't verify my self (not that I will ever try intentionally) I want to hear your opinion, because your opinion matters very much to me. That is what I said to the guy: cory will eat apisto fry if will get a chance.
Thank you.
