fuzzy_dragonfly Posted October 1, 2005 Report Share Posted October 1, 2005 I like the corys too especially the spotty ones :eadshake: . I've been tossing up on what cory to get next. I fancy the peppered ones, they're pretty cool. I almost got a colony of pandas but had to give them up because I couldn't come to collect them .

fuzzy_dragonfly Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 Ah well I guess that answers my question. I have now got a couple c.sterbai as well, the colourful spotty cory, it's not what I expected and once again I nearly bought a colony of pandas but there were a few dead ones in the tank so I didn't risk it. SPOTTY CORYS RULE :photo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figure_8 Posted October 2, 2005 Report Share Posted October 2, 2005 there seems to be an influx of panda cories in Perth atm. I saw them in 3 lfs today! I didn't buy any because I think they would be wasted on a black substrate, so I nabbed a few albino corys instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbies Betta Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Neat Mishy I am also another Panda Cory fan. I found the most teeniest panda cosries in one of my LFS, but they were almost $7 each, and I only had $20 on me Mishy, no wonder ur sister Cory-napped that one. it's one of the cutest Cories I've seen :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishy Posted October 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 The panda cories here in Melb are about $5 each (that's the cheapest I've seen). I actually brought this panda home from Qld.. i couldn't resist those cute little eyes.. and whiskers.. and devil may care attitude when fighting out food with the other bigger fishes...

Najoha Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 My panda's started out lovely and clean looking but being on brown river sand they have blended in and arn't so white. :Drunk_Buddies2: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephemeral12 Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 Coming late into this conversation. Mishy i was wondering where you could get panda corys for $5? I bought mine for $11.95 each! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canary Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I'm another cory lover I have reticulated, leopard, sterbai, tail-spot and pepper cories. I got the tail-spot (caudomaculatus) cory's from upmarket pets near the vic markets for $10, they had some tiny panda cory's for $3.90 I think. Coburg Aquarium often has sterbai and similis also. I love the way they are always ferreting their way through the gravel and up and down the glass. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ephemeral12 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Hi Everyone Just a question since we are on the topic of corys. I have 2 pandas and 2 similus corys, all about 3-5cm in length (so they are still babies!). I have realised that 2 of the corys are pretty smart and will generally find the food i give them within 5 mins. The other two never seem to the join the 'feeding frenzy'. One of my panda corys will even swim past its food without even noticing. I've realised the ones that eat have developed a healthy pinkish hue whilst the other two seem a bit dull in colour. My question is, do you guys find that some corys don't join in the feeding and rather just 'hang around' at the back? Would i have to the give the shy ones special treatment? What do you think i should do? My betta is very feisty and would try to steal the cory's food given the opportunity. After reading up on this I've tried feeding the corys at night. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mishy Posted August 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 ephemeral, have you tried a variety of food? it could be that the cory is simply a fussy eater. I give my lot a variety of food, algae wafer, shrimp pellets, zucchini, worms (live and frozen) and they seem to accept the food as they come, no matter how fussy they started off. Also, possibly a larger colony would help? Don't forget though, the fish aren't silly. Worse case is don't give them food for a day and feed them on the 2nd as they are hungry? Just an idea, but when I have given the fish a detox day, they seem to be more enthusiastic about their food. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
