2 Cats , Panda Cats

[omega59]

I have 2 corydora panda cats i would like to add to my Betta tank. This tank is 5-6gallon Chi by Fluval. How do i go about adding them without fighting to happen?

I wouldn't add the pandas tbh.
The chi doesn't have a lot of floor space, it's taller than it is long, & corys really need to be in larger groups which you don't have space for.
What tank are they in at the moment?

 

[omega59]

a 10gallon which i need to get rid of.

Personally, I wouldn't add the pandas either. They do generally like groups of 6 or more and plenty of space to swim around, which I'm not sure a 5g, or at least one with the floor space of a chi, could provide.

I wouldn't...if you have to get rid of the tank, and have no other option, maybe find a new home for them? Pygmy cories are smaller than pandas (I think) and I was hesitant to put THOSE in my ten gallon...and, somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure cories do better in groups of 6+

No your right. They do fine in three plus grops but do best insix plus.

awww looks like i will have to render them to the LFS too then

 

[crazyforcordoras]

Sadly, you probably will...

They do fine in three plus grops

what is your definition of 'do fine'. They are a schoaling species and the more the better. As is always advised, 6+ for the minimum quantity.

 

[crazyforcordoras]

Do fine meaning they will survive but wont thrive.

I've always had the two for over a year now adn they are doing fine.
