Questions About Corydoras Burgessi Ii- C121

[lillykinloo]

Hello again! I have 2 quick questions about C 121-Burgessi II:

1. How big do these cories get?
2. Are they as delicate as the panda cories?

Thanks again!

The C 121 it is very much same size as C. adolfoi around 5.00-6.00 cm.
In term of delicate comparing with panda. I have hard time to keep them at the beginning, due to water condition[ph and temp change]. If those are changing too quick they shows sign of weekness and then to get sick, and the problem will follow as fungus or bacterial infection. They are not hardy as other cory but when they are well adjust with water parameter in the tank, they are great looking cory.
I always love them.

I agree, they are nice cories and are on my list. I have heard of them being a little sensitive too. But like PC1963, after they adjust to your water conditions and if you keep up with the tank maintence, they should be fine

Thanks, PC1963 & Barracuda518! That was very helpful information! I am trying to decide whether I want to start with 5-6 Juliis, 5-6 Trilineatus, or 5-6 Burgessi II. I think the Burgessi are my favorites (I really like their colours and markings). But, since this is my first Cory, I didn't want to chose something that was going to be extremely sensitive. I do water changes regularly, so hopefully, they will like their new home (when I get them). Thanks again!
