Time for more fish??

[maestromad]

K now my tank is over the ich issue (I'm planning to keepthe temp up for another week or so), I have a 110L which is planted with two peppered cory and 6 guppies.
I need to add more corys and was looking at 2 more peppered/juli and 4 panda - after my disaster with the shop bought guppies in sticking with my bred ones for now.
So should I add all the corys together or go for 2 then the pandas??
Thanks guys

What is the footprint of your tank and which cory types do you have already?

 

[absolutangel04]

Whoops, you said you have 2 peppered. Sorry. But, I would still like to know the footprint before advising.

It's a 30x12x15 I know my peppered need friends!

 

[maestromad]

Anyone?? How many corys could I have??

Thanks would you say to have two peppered or could I mix with the Julie's there is suh conflict on whether they wil school or not!

 

[absolutangel04]

Sorry to answer you late. IMO, you would be fine to mix the species, but try to have at least 2-3 of each species you mix. I keep peppered, albino, julii, and elegant together. They still hang out together and swim around, but they do not school as tightly as fish of all the same species would.
Other people have different opinions about that, but this is mine.
I think you would be fine with 4 peppered and then 4 julii. I have heard the panda are a bit shyer and do better in groups of 6. But, keep in mind I have not owned pandas, I am just repeating info (I think from siva, but I don't totally remember).
