They are in a tank with 2 Venezuela corys and 2 ottos and some RCS so thought they would be ok? I will be transferring the 2 Venezuela corys to my bigger tank eventually so might get 2 more pandas then but thought different corys could get on or am I mistaken? They seem happy together so far.

Each cory should have at least 3-4 of its own kind

Would you say black venezuela cory is different to red Venezuela then? Was planning to add 2 black ones for them?

You shouod be ok untill you move the others. It's hit or miss on wether different breeds will shoal together or not. But it is reccomended to have 4+ of each.

2 of my 6 Cory matae's/bandit cories!!

Got them in a little over a week ago after almost a year long hunt for some in a decent price range.
Absolutely my favorite out of the corydora species, they do like to hide, but they are out a lot more than my palateus and habrosus' ever were.

Nice! I wanted a shoal of those bit since I was only doing a 20g and slightly overstocking it I went with pandas.

Wouldn't they have grown to be around the same size? I have always wanted panda's, they are adorable as all heck, but when I saw the matae's for the first time I knew I had to keep tank space open for some lol

I don't remember the max size of the bandits but I was told the pandas were the 2nd smallest ones my lfs could get and I didn't want dwarf corys. But I will be doing 4 albinos, 4 bandits and 4 others when I set up my next planted tank. So I decided to wait on them.

Edit: I just looked them both up and yup they both max out at 2" I was thinking the pandas were max 1.5" for some reason. LoL mabey ill add a pair to my tank to chill with the pandas. They should shoal together they don't look much different.

Yeah, I was looking it up and saw the bandits got to 2" and pandas go to about 2.5" max sized, not too big a difference.
They should definitely shoal together, similar markings. Now if you were talking about peppered and albino or something I'd say that wouldn't work (tried it before lol)

Might as well go for the 4 albino, 4 panda, and 4 bandits! Lol
I really like juhlii's as well, I hear they stay pretty small, but I already have too many bottom feeders in tanks between plecos and existing cories

I would do pandas but I really like julli also or a long finned of some kind.

Nice!!
I have a single peppered (sold off his group and thought he was with them) along with 4 habrosus, he likes to school with them which is pretty cool to see a peppered swim mid-level as his old group always used to stay hidden on the bottom. They are in a 28 with my apisto trifasciata trio and some guppies, an my male HMPK betta. Oh and a single quarter sized angel and some bristlenose pleco juveniles.
My bandits (only 5 out of the original 6 left) are in a 29 with angels, guppies, a sorority of female bettas, Bolivian ram fry, GBR Juvenile females, and a mated pair of albino bristlenose plecos. Sounds overstocked, I know. But water quality is great and they all have tons of space, not crowded at all, most of them are just temporary residents till I get my next 55 set up.

I'll had to post some pictures of my peppered and habrosus and new ones of my bandits.
