Might be two females? maybe you should get a few more?

KaijuCinema - 8 years ago

So do you only have 2? And are they happy as a pair

KaijuCinema - 8 years ago

Hey I was planning on a 10 gallon aquarium. Would it be acceptable to have about 4 or 5 panda cories? Also I hear these cories are a little harder to care for. Is this true? Have any panda cories died in your tank?

Dan Hiteshew - 8 years ago

I've kept them singly before and they never showed any signs of stress.

KaijuCinema - 8 years ago

Dan Hiteshew I've heard they get very stressed without at least three schooling mates

Dan Hiteshew - 8 years ago

I've never had them before. I think 4 or 5 would be ok, but no more. And you can keep cories as singletons if you want. If you have more than one, they'll hang around together though.

nice dan i have 7 Corydoras the never laid egg lol so congrats :-)

Tim Bangert - 8 years ago

Hey dan! what's your pH in this tank?!?

Tim Bangert - 8 years ago

Thanks!

Dan Hiteshew - 8 years ago

+Tim Bangert I wouldn't slam it from 6.5 to 7.8 all at once, but if it's adjusted slowly, they should do ok in 7.8 pH.

Tim Bangert - 8 years ago

you think this species could tolerate a pH of 7.6-7.8?

Dan Hiteshew - 8 years ago

It should be right around neutral. Maybe a little acidic, since I don't do frequent water changes.

Thanks for sharing about these Cory's - just had three babies showing up on our living room tank from the same. Fascinating! Looking forward to hearing if those eggs hatch and you develop a school of them.

PsychedelicBabe - 8 years ago

I can't see any of the Cory fry making it in here but hey you never know

Jeremy Kirby - 8 years ago

as Darkwing Duck looks on...

Dan Hiteshew - 8 years ago

Lol

Jessica Cammarata - 8 years ago

I'm so glad you put him in there! They both must have been so happy to see each other they spawned right away lol

Sasi Mallik - 8 years ago

Nice update, expecting to see some Cory babies soon. :)

faith jackson - 8 years ago

looks good, I had cory egs and went shopping and came back and they were gone. Someone ate them. Oh well. I have a question please! What color is healthy fish poop? Brown? Can it be short or long? Thank you ahead of time!

faith jackson - 8 years ago

thank you

faith jackson - 8 years ago

thank you

The Dwarf Gourami in particular is subject to constipation with too much protein. Don't give the DG bloodworms more than once a week to be safe. They'll love algae wafers though, and so will the cories and plecos and mollies.

Jessica Cammarata - 8 years ago

faith jackson Too many blood worms can constipate them.

faith jackson - 8 years ago

Rasboras,plecos cory cats, dwarf gourami and platys. Ok , yeah I dont feed them that much.What does to much protein do to them..curious.Trying to learn as much as I can.

Dan Hiteshew - 8 years ago

What kind of fish? I'd go easy on the bloodworms. Only once or twice a week. It's a lot of protein.

faith jackson - 8 years ago

Ok...feed blood worms and omega flakes and daphila or how ever you spell it. thanks.

Dan Hiteshew - 8 years ago

Honestly, it depends on what you feed them.
White and stringy isn't good though. That usually indicates something wrong in the gut.

T Holz - 8 years ago

My corys put eggs on the glass of my tanks often but I only had one baby survive so far. Never saw any of the fry but that one and he was the size of my neons bofore I saw him or her.

Niall - 8 years ago

What type of gourami is that?

Dan Hiteshew - 8 years ago

+Niall I really like the Powder Blues.

Niall - 8 years ago

Dan Hiteshew cool!

Dan Hiteshew - 8 years ago

Powder Blue Dwarf gourami

wyzemann - 8 years ago

Those cats didn't waste a millisecond gettin' busy. Dan, I swear you're running a fish motel over there.

wyzemann - 8 years ago

Dan Hiteshew

Dan Hiteshew - 8 years ago

Since I film it all, you can't call it a no tell motel. lol

Michael Agostino - 8 years ago

Nice, however I really doubt any of the fry will survive. That Gourami will snack on any fry that do hatch from the eggs.

Dan Hiteshew - 8 years ago

They looked too opaque to be fertile anyway.

Greetje Buijert-Nijdam - 8 years ago

Nice movie.

Gaina - 8 years ago

I guess they like each other then?

Gaina - 8 years ago

Dan Hiteshew that's half the fun of plants I guess, planting them and waiting to see what happens.

Dan Hiteshew - 8 years ago

+Gaina I have no idea. Sorry.

Gaina - 8 years ago

Dan Hiteshew ah! I've got microsorum pteropus and I'm just wondering if the leaf shape will change as it matures.

Dan Hiteshew - 8 years ago

Java fern.

LittleLargeMouth - 8 years ago

Yay! They can make their own school now

Dan Hiteshew - 8 years ago

It didn't take them long to start working on it. Lol
