Are panda cories good fish to have in a community aquarium?
Are panda cories good fish to have in a community aquarium?
Cories are one of my FAVORITE fish. I absolutely adore them. (especially Pandas) They are peaceful, community, bottom dwellers that are very cute and do well in tanks from 10G (for the pygmies)+. I'm not sure how much of an experienced fish keeper you are or how diligent you are at keeping your tank clean so I can't really give you a yes or no answer to your question. But Pandas are pretty delicate in my experience, compared to other Corydora species. If you can keep water stable and such, go for 'em! They are great tankmates!
What is the hardiest breed of cories??
Could I keep them in like 80 degree water?
I have mine in 80F with some Angelfish. They are active and eating well. I had them at 78 for a month or two and bumped it up to 80 when I added the Angelfish. They didn't seem to behave any differently.
I did lose one recently for unknown reasons. He got darker than the rest and was lethargic. Just died out of nowhere. No visible signs aside from the darker coloration, which threw me because most fish pale when stressed or sick from what I understand.
Aniistarr said:Me too, mine died for unknown reasons, he got darker and stopped eating, although when asked here they said because i have them in a 2.5G so probably for me it was that, but still i think they are very sensitive
Do you keep your Cories , swordtails and bloodfins in the 2.5???
