Bit Wary About Getting More Pandas

[HayzH]

are any other Corydoras more hardy than Pandas???
I have lost 4 now in a few weeks...no apparent reason or causes. they were just starting to grow a bit too.
LFS keep running out of pandas...they had peppered and albino's...
I cant see any reason apart from the food issue (see other thread)...
Any ideas

what temp and ph do they like again?

Peppered and Bronze (which is the normal "albino" seen in stores) are both at the hardy end of the scale for Corydoras. Peppered do better at the cooler temps (especially wild caught) ~20C, Bronze are happy in more typcial tropical temps ~24C.

I reckon you had a bad batch....

Whats your tank temp?

My 9 adult pandas have been in my 55 gals for nearly 18 months and now 7 juvenile babes have joined them,temp 23-24.5 ,dependant if heating in house is on. with ph of 8 , all is well (hope i don't tempt fate )

I've found them just has hardy has all my others....

Pandas do prefer lower temps.

Temp is kept around 24-26deg. They are so cute..i just dont understand why they are dying.. i had 2 smaller ones at first..then up it to 6 (the final 4 were a tad bigger than the first 2).
