Panda Fry Log

You are doing great, keep up the good work

Thanks all

Sorry to hear you've both lost corys - its heartbreaking when they don't make it...i've been very lucky to have my corys thriving,i've only lost 4 adults in the whole time i've kept them,3 tri's initially when i first discovered corys and an albino passed the day after i got it...so i know how you feel...

Its a shame about your pandas & peppers,its strange how some thrive and others don't...when buying corys i try to get the ones that seem active,long barbels and no red marks or damaged fins,unfortunately we dont know how long or short a time they've been in a lfs or how they have been treated before we buy them.So buying a 'weak or bad' batch is possible....

My pandas are the most active and out in the open and generally think they are 9 kamikazi pilots bombing around or think they should school with the harlequins and now the wee youngsters are joining in

I think I'll just enjoy pandas vicariously through you until I get my 40g long tank!

I've lost only one about 4 days after I bought 4 pandas. That was actually the first fish I had lost since getting back into the hobby. That one always seemed a bit odd.

I've since lost 4 other fish - a sick danio I rescued, and the oldest 3 rasboras I also rescued all died while I was away for 3 weeks. The rest are all thriving, or so it would seem. The tank is handling everything well, which is why I got an extra 6 pandas!


I'm still rather jealous of your skill with the panda fry. (The nice thing about my new additions is that I can always see at least one of them out and about doing stuff.)

Good news on upping your pandas and to them doing well

You never know,they've spawned once,i'm sure they will again

Even i'm surprised how well the panda fry are coming along

I spoke too soon about not losing fish... I just lost a glofish during a water change... I found him, but it was too late. I got a little complacent and took my eye off the tube for just a few seconds.

 

[Harlequins]

Oh no sorry to here that...

I'm always wary about my corys getting to close to the tube,they love rooting around where i've been cleaning especially the pygmys,who would easily get sucked up...

 

[eaglesaquarium]

Yeah, I should have known after I typed how I hadn't lost any new additions, except for one weak cory that something was bound to happen.

 

[Harlequins]

Pics again they're growing so fast!!

I suggest keeping pandas in groups of 8 or more purely because of their size, they are a little more shy than the bigger corys so bigger numbers helps. In other ways they are no different to other corys. But like i said, if you got the space, get more.

I lost a few of my pandas fry today,well gutted Yesterday afternoon i had taken off the sponge over the hob filter intake to rinse off,and forgot the to put sponge back on, came home last night to find 5 of the wee pandas stuck in there tail first

I shut off the filter,they swam off,but this evening i found they had died

Purely my own fault,i knew the hob was powerful & should have remember to put the sponge back on

I've moved 3 of the larger babes in with the other three juvi's,only spotted 2 out & about,so hoping the other one is in hiding...

So not a good day.....
