Pandas

[chibi]

I've heard many people say Panda Corys are sensitive fishies and aren't very hardy. However, my wonderfully unstable tank has 8 and I've only had 1 death (shortly after purchase) in ages! I have a 2-year old panda that I bought right after I cycled my tank and he's gone through everything from diseases to broken filters. Do many people not have luck with them? Because I can't seem to kill them! ( Not that I'd want to! D: )

It is what I have been told. There are certainly more sensitive species. When I got mine Inchworm immediately gave me warnings and instructions. I lost a few moving them around--not many. But since they have been in their present tank with mates that were recommended for them, they have never given me any problems. I think they are sensitive to stressful conditions, especially tank mates that may be too rambunctious, such as clown loaches, brochis splendens, etc.
