I have about 16 panda cats, unheated aquarium; their tankmates are white cloud mountain minnows.. I'm fairly sure the pandas eat the mms eggs. And, no one tells you, the panda cats breed like bunnies; cute little wet bunnies. They are full of life and personality, fun fish for sure. Thanks for the video on these cuties.

I love my Panda Corys!! They are so fun - They get in a big group and do synchronized swimming parties sometimes! So peaceful and cute!

I have a 10g with 4 panda corydoras and a male betta. And they get along so well. No aggression at all. And I've actually seen them eating together. I feed once a week some catfish pellets and the betta will go at it first and break it up and the pandas will join in and eat with him.

I LOVE mine! 18 - 20 in my 33 long. They are so fun and wiggly. I started with 7 and let them just do their thing. Great community fish. Panda piles are so cute. No idea why they pile up but it’s adorable.

Just got 6 panda corys and they are a blast to watch. Looking forward to when I can move them from the quarantine tank to the community tank.

Years ago, I used to breed them and Panda babies would survive in the aquarium if enough bottom cover existed. One thing that helped was a plastic "fake grass" mat (purchased at a large craft center); I would weigh it down with a few rocks. The female cories would lay their eggs in it and the fry would continue to hide in it. I will soon be setting up a 22-gallon bookshelf aquarium for Pandas. They are cute, like puppies! 😊

The panda Cory cats are some of my absolute favorites, how could you not love these little guys? Thanks for your suggestions on tankmates, because these guys are so peaceful ....they sure don't need to be harassed ♥️ I've always loved these guys along with my bettas.. I love that they're not just a bottom dweller (although they are) but it's really interesting when there's a group of them and they swim all up and down the tank and create a lot of activity! Thanks for another wonderful video Jason, always beautiful always informative!! I hope you are having a blessed day and I hope you have a wonderful weekend! 🙏🌿🐟🌿💚

Panda Cory's are among some of my favourites in the Cory family, such a happy looking fish!

Cory cats in general are just so darn fun!

Hey Jason, I was watching an older video in which you were comparing test strips, and you stated "you can save a little money by cutting them in half" omg you can? Best tip ever! I kinda hee and haw every time I get low on them cause they're so expensive, but I know I need them....so thanks!

I love your species profiles; so easy to understand and very thorough 😊 thank you Jason!

Corydorable!! Can’t wait to add Cory’s to my new planted tank! ❤

Cory's are awesome 💚

I recently got some bronze cory cats and I'm looking into getting the pandas over the coming weeks. A well timed video!

I got 2 juveniles in my 75 gallon tank, they are so fun I hope they do ok!

Your efforts to debunk myths is appreciated. Keep educating. Thanks for the video ! Jim

I started off with 3 adult panda Corey I adopted from a friend and now have over 25 in my 75 gallon rainbow community tank in only 8 months

Great info just moved about 8 pandas to a 29gal water parameters are stable they’re just hanging around the sponge filter not very active had them in a 20 high before the move had great luck in breeding eggs everywhere in 20 high so the 20 high are for the Fry until they get larger they were more active in the 20 then the 29 tank is established!!! Thanks for the vid brotherrrr!!!!!

I love corys!

they are so chubby and cute!!! i cant stand how cute they are

I used to keep these, and let me tell ya, cameras don't do their beauty justice. These little guys are so pretty in person.

I had two corys in my five gallon when I kept fish in high school. Should have had more but I spent my extra money on neons and zebras. Thanks!

Excellent Panda Corydora profile video. One off my favourite Cory’s along with Salt and Pepper Cory’s 🤩

I have 2 pandas & 2 green corydoras in my 20 gallon & they really all love each other ❤️ they love to huddle together (usually a panda & a green will be hugging each other & being besties. 🤩😍🙏❤️

My favorite fish. Great video

I got got 3 of these at the recent mcas auction. They are so cute and I cant wait until then get bigger.

Such cute little guys! Interested to hear more on oxygenation and cycling a tank - you mentioned ammonia/nitrite would send them scooting up to the top to breathe, I didn’t know ammonia or nitrite could affect oxygenation!

Great video as always. ...love the music...very relaxing, appreciate it.....have a great evening fish nerds

Love my Cory's 🤩 I have albino Cory's, bronze Cory's and a panda Cory ! They are amazing little guys 🙂

thanks for this! I love panda corys and flip aquatics!

I do enjoy the panda cory cats as well. I have about 10 of them in my 75 gal blackwater setup with cardinals, Pencilfish and a few sailfin tetra's. Nice 20 long you have there. Rock work looks great

So cute fish

Great video. I have a group of 10 sterbai corys in a 20L....hoping to breed. thanks for the info.

I have 3 panda Cory's in my 10g with my betta and 4 x ray tetras. They are all very happy now. I'm planning on getting a couple more pandas. And later this year I'm going to upgrade there tank to a 20 high. If I'm in able to convince my wife to do so then I can move some to my outdoor pond. Its heated so it wont get to cold. It does get cold here in southern oregon. The tank they are in is a planted tank I have carabsea planted tank sub and I have capped it will black sand. An okay amount of plants. I have a water lily plant a good bit of guppy grass and I have a bunch of rotala. And a good number of hiding spots. I will be going and getting 2 more pandas probably tuesday. And I will also get some special food for them. I've been feeding tropical fish food and frozen foods. For filtration I have a corner sponge Filter and a Hang on back. I also have lava rock on top of the sand and man they love the tank so far.

I just watched the profile on the Honey gourami and I went back to this video as a cross reference to watch how sweet these little fish are so cute!

I have these in my guppy tank. Everyone gets along well.

I love my little herd! My favorite is when they spaghetti slurp blood worms and do the cute munch face.

Great video panda cories are my favourite corydoras

I have a 29H tank with a honey gourami, some harlequin rasboras and cherry barbs. They all get on famously and so I was considering some panda corys. The tank doesn't have much going on at the bottom level (though the barbs visit there a bit). This video is really selling me on them. The only thing really holding me back is I have black gravel and don't see myself switching the substrate any time soon. Also, our store wanted $15 per fish. I wouldn't be able to get the whole group at once.

I love them! They are the cutest fish imo but i might be bias lol

This video is just in time as I recently adopted 3 grown panda cory’s for my 10g community tank!

Cory cats lineup next to each other like cars at a 50s drive-in💯😂

Have 3 pandas, three platys, and one male paradise fish in a 10 gallon planted aquarium kept at 71 degrees. They are all doing great together. I do a 1/4 water change a week. Because everything is so well balanced, I'm thinking of putting in 3 long fin white clouds.

Love those Panda Corys

Really love them, they are so awesome. 💗💗

Talk about timing, just got a school of 7 Panda Corys for community tank with neon tetras and 1 Betta... they are the funniest fish, worth every penny. Would love to breed them. Thanks for the info !

Love my panda corys

I love my Panda Corys.

Love these little guys :) I don't remember a time when I had a tank w/o coryes. I always buy at least 10 of every variety to experience to the full their wonderfull group dinamic. In the begining I had "one of each", sort of speak, but after watching a footage from the Amazon with thousands of the same species moving in unison, I saw the light:P From then on, every "representative" of a cory species in my tanks, have at least 10 "colleagues" :D Also, always remember to provide soft substrate (I recommend Manado), they always enjoy "diving" in to it.:)

I love corydoras! I have albinos, green lasers, orange lasers, gossei, and pepper corys (all in different tanks.) The only ones that so far that have successfully bred have been the pandas. By far my favorites. PH 8 they did great until heater malfunction :( Thanks Jason!!

Panda Cory Cats are the best. Appreciate.

Cant wait to add panda corydoras to my 20 long community tank 😄

thanks, been waiting for this one!

Pretty nice and relaxing tank. Loved it. Love the scape-theme. I will definitely subscribe:)

Kribensis and Corydoras actually go together Great!! (Same with Ram's)

I have a like a silver tetra there best mates 😁

I swear when they eat they share and are so courteous to one another

Good Morning.

I have 6 love them

My dwarf gourami hassles my albino cories at meal time but the cories have figured out that he has a short attention span. He rushes in to chase them off of whatever they're eating, they give way, he forgets why he was chasing them, they resume eating.

I started with 6 of these guy in a 180 gal about 2 years ago. I'm up to about 20 now. They like playing/breeding in my massive (2 ft wide) Java fern.

I've got my corry cats with 2 green sevrums , 5 giant danios, 13 tiger barbs, some other larger catfish. And to top it off, 3 mollies.

Love them

Carpeting plants are a no go for corys . Learned the hard way 😓 my pearl weed carpet that took a year was gone in 1 week . Now I did patches with room between for them to swim

Pandas are my favourite fish

Thank you for calling out that you keep corys at a high ph. I want some but have been worried about my 8.0-8.2 ph.

I love my Cory Cats I have a 4 inch 3 year old Bronze 🐠 he is my center piece 🐠😃

Ok this one is in my top ten! Still waiting on my number one SRBP you can figure it out!

In 29g planted tank, 8-10 of these guys wouldn’t be too much would it? I was planning on adding a small school of either neon tetras or harlequin rasboras, and a german ram. Keep up the great work you guys do because it is so helpful. 🤟🏻

i just started a 10 gal with 1 bronze, 3 pepper, and 1 panda along with 6 zebra danios

Love the profile series! Could you recommend a Cory that wouldn't mind warmer temps of a Discus tank? I keep my tank around 83. LMK! 🤙

I’ve got 5 in a 10 gallon. But they only share the tank with shrimp and snails

Awesome video! May I know what music you used in the beginning of this video? 😃

Can you mix different Cory cats together? Will they interact like they would with their own?

Hey there! Im looking for a help from someone experienced! I have male betta fish and after some reading and digging i decided to get him "friends" that will help me maintain the aquarium little bit. I decided to get cory panda's at my local pet store and I got 2 with possible to start with. I let them aclimate to the water, did some testing of the water, added CO2 plus, added Algumin plus and they were fine for few days. Sometimes hiding, but usually together on same spot. Last few days i noticed that they kinda separated and one of them was hiding and the other one was more active. Im usually a lot at home so i was watching them quite often watching how the betta reacts to them and he was ignoring them. But just now few moments ago I found one of the cory's dead in between plant leaves head facing up and I can't find the other one - i'll look more when during day its really early for me now. But honestly I have no idea how that happend. Both of them were quite small so not an adults. But I keep wondering why they separated, where is the other one and why the first one die? The betta was ignoring his corpse, but do you think its possible he did that? They have a lot of hiding spots in the aquarium and a lot of plants as well. Also I wasnt at home as much today but I 100% saw him alive few times during day when i was passing by and he was swimming arround and also "rubbing" or how should i call it his whiskers on the glass also with his head up... Is it possibly some kind of desease that makes them swimming like that? Is that why he died? It makes me sad :/ I had many fish in past when I was child, and then little bit older, but now I have these after long time and I also never had cory catfishes...

Nice

I have 6 with my baby reeves turtle. But i feed heavily since the turtle eats a lot

First fish , beside guppies, I got to breed! :)

Pearl gouramis are great too mines name is Jojo he/she's awesome

125 gallons Cory cats about 15 of them From adults to babies.

They are super expensive here in the Philippines I wish I can keep these cuties

Something I’ve been wondering for a while. Since corydoras will go to the surface to gulp air every once in a while, is there an upper limit on how tall your tank should be?

I've thinking about getting 6 to 18 panda corys for my 90 gallon heavily planted tank. I'm wondering if my school of 6 full size roseline sharks and 3 adult size SAE will be intimidating to the panda corys. The SAE school with the sharks and they all do dig into the gravel after feedings. I do have some open areas in between some if the plants, and there are shady plces for them to hide. Also have live-bearers and tetras. Thanks

I have a 36.g tank. How many u think i can put in. N can I put some albino Cory cat

I had eight in my 75 gallon and within a month only two ended up surviving don't know why maybe cause I got them petsmart :(

Hello, I was wondering if panda corydoras would get along with electric blue acaras and geophagus tapajos?

In a 20 long.. how many neon tetras and Cory cats would work together do you think?

one of the longest living aquarium fish other then goldfish..10 yrs and more

Would the brightwell plant substrate work then or should I cap it with sand ?

I have them in with two gold fish

Great Cory Cat! Have you had these guys spawn for you?

Recommended number of panda corys for a 30 gallon? I plan to get a bristlenose pleco as well to go with my guppys I'm transferring from my 10 gallon.

What kind of Cory is good for eating pest snail babies?

would Congo Tetras work with them?

I have arrived 😉🤟

Are those snails scattered all over your tank ?

Would Geo Tapajos leave Panda Corys alone in a 75 gal.?

How many Cory’s,Mollys,Plattys would you recommend for a 36 gallon?

can I keep them with aulonocara or peacock cichlids?
