My New Panda Corys

[JamesA]

I added 3 Pandas to my tank just over a week ago now and they have settled in well, managed to get some pics so thought i would share. Planning to add another 3 from a forum member here to make a nice group. Also have a plan in the pipeline to upgrade my tank for a nice Roma 240 with sand substrate for them

Any idea on the sexes of these? They are about 2 to 3 cm long at the moment so still quite young i think.

:coolphotos: will baby panda cories get eaten by my synodontis and will they be okay in groups of 3 like your? thanks

Nice little pandas you have Wouldn't want to guess at their sexes until they are fed up a bit more, then they should be easy to sex.

I really wouldn't risk baby pandas with your synos, they'd be a tasty snack for them depending on how big your synos are that is. Its recommended to keep corys in groups of 6 or more.

Cheers

thanks and i have 1 syno and 1 sailfin plec the syno is 2.5 inches so would that be a no? wif it was a yes would it be okay to by 3 one week then 3 the next?

The sailfin plec wouldn't do them any harm but your syno may well have a go and is likely to get a lot bigger too. If you really want to keep corys with the syno then maybe go for a larger cory species?

aahhh okay
which species would you suggest?
will they be okay in a 27 degree tank?

Thank. BPK

Synos are gluttons. A concern is that they will probably eat all the foods before your corys can eat them. Make sure you moniter if the corys gets enough food when you put them together.

Thanks for the feedback folks, will post a few more pics as they get bigger and i add the rest. Im aiming for a group of 6, at least till i get my bigger tank

My tank is as 25c and they seem to get on very well with my plecs. My male dwarf grourami is fascinated by them too, but not bothering them at all.

Sterbai would be a good choice at that temperature, they are colourful, larger corys and easily available.

Thanks, BPK
