my very first cories!!!!

Finally!!
since I saw the first picture of panda cories on this forum, I've been longing to have some too, but could never find them.
But now I did!!!!
they are so incredibly cute.
they are in the tank with the 6 guppies now, and have started cleaning my tank immediately.
I have four of them, is that enough? the women at the lfs told me I should get 2, but I read here that it's better to have some more.

How big do they get? I think they are quite young now.
And do they breed? (would like some littles ones)

Greetz!

Aren't they so cute? They're like mini clown loaches!

I'll try to take some pics and post them in the picture section.
It won't be easy, they are so active! I didn't expect them to be...

They sound wonderful - glad you found some!

I've had 8 of these little beggers... we got 4 to start with and 2 died... so we got 4 more - and 2 of them died aswell...

the 4 we have got now are fine though.

They are my favorite cories as well. they get to be about 2 inches in length and the females tend to be a little wider. They are egg layers and they will breed for you.

I love my panda corys i have 3 of them,i had 4 but one died about an hour after i got them but i never went back to the shop cos it was quite a long way off,we searched everywhere to find some pandas.My other three are fine we had them a couple of months now and they are never still.

bigmac, have they bred?
I would have bought all of them, but there were about 40, so my 15g would have been a little overcrowded

2inches is quite big then, they're not even half that size now
