PDA

View Full Version : Panda Corys

I've read a lot of posts that mention the panda cory. Was at my LFS
and saw them. Fell in love with them right away. I got two to put in
my 3g with my betta

Question is, would I be pushing it if I got one more? I think they'd
"play around" even more.

All the best,

Larry

Yes you would IMHO. 2 is enough until you get a bigger tank.

I'll second that. Or jar the betta and get 3. *evil grin*

You probably would, especially as they grow. But if your tank was
heavily planted (real, not plastic), and you did frequent water changes,
you might get away with it for a while.

That's the opinion of a relative newbie, so take it for what it's worth.
But I'm amazed at the difference the plants make.

Cories do better and are much more social in groups at least 4 but ideally 6
or more. You're right that more would 'play around' but you just don't have
the room.

And keep an eye on the little guys. Pandas are notorious for being extremely
fragile and dying.
