I’ve had ONE panda Cory on its own for about 3 years now. All the other fish had died and I was just waiting for my last panda to pass. However this panda is almost 6 years old and going strong so I recently got some tank mates. Doing the whole fish thing again. I am waiting for the pet store to call me when they have more pandas. Meantime I purchased one peppered Cory but now AFTER doing research am realizing imma need a few more of each lol. Thank you for this video!
Thanks for watching and supporting the channel! I know what you mean about ending up with a lone individual. Hopefully the pandas come in soon and you are enjoying your tank again!
I currently have them in my 75 gallon with glow light danios and kubotai rasboras. The tank teh video was filmed in, they were in a 36 gallon with some endler guppies, a peacock gudgeon and 2 bajo catfish.
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. I'd bump the temp up to around 80 and use some meds. I've noticed that since cories spend a lot of time on the bottom, where they can pick ich up, they tend to have a hard time shaking ich without medicine. I do like Fritz meds, but whatever is available at your local fish store will probably work. Hopefully this is helpful!
You can add as many or few plants as you'd like - I prefer to have lots of plants because it looks pleasant but you don't need to have tons if you don't want to. I'd say adding a cave or other type of hiding spot is the most important.
They should get along fine. I'm not super knowledgable on dwarf frogs, I assume your talking about dwarf African clawed frogs, but they also like to be in groups so make sure you have enough space for a decent sized group of both!
If you know how to gender corys, how can you tell if yours is a male or female? I have one with 3 bettas and I want to get at least 2 or 3 more but I don’t want babies lol, the Cory I have is a teardrop shaped one
Great question! I should have covered that in the video for sure... It can be a little tricky to identify their sex at young ages - you'll have to use shape. The females have that teardrop shape like you mentioned, whereas the males are more slender and have more a straight structure if you look at them from the top. I've heard people say the males look like airplanes almost, since the fins pop out on the side more. In mature specimens the females are substantially larger (broader), very noticeable.
@@freshflowaquatics thank you! I’ve been wondering ever since I got “her” if she was a male or female, but I named her Thor and my Loach Loki😂 the name is stuck now
@@freshflowaquatics yeah and depending on the size of the goldfish they could choke on the smaller fish and well…die. I’m not 100% sure it’s true but when I had my Cory’s in the same tank with the goldfish they were very stressed cause the goldfish were chasing them away from the bottom of the tank.
What's your favorite type of cory?
Pandas, but I am really interested in Eques too.
@@ZenCoryCat Panda cories are one of my faves too

Thank you for this vid. Peace from the UK
Glad it was helpful - thanks for dropping a comment from across the pond!
they are easier to take care of than other fish
Cories are definitely hardy little fish for the most part. The only ones I had problems with were spotted cories.
oh thanks for informing
Thanks, very helpful video. Planning on adding 12 of them to my tank either today or tomorrow, wish me luck
Appreciate the comment! Hope the new fish settle in well and you enjoy them 😊
How big is your tank?
@@lnormacanim2877 They were in a 36 gallon at the time of the video. Now they are in a 75 gallon.
@@freshflowaquatics how many Cories can you put on a 20 gallon tank? I have 6 bronze at the moment. Thanks for your reply
@@lnormacanim2877 Depends on how often you clean it. If it's a 20 long and you keep the water clean, probably about a dozen.
I like panda cories 🙂
Panda cories are cute!
Hi from Singapore. Great vid!
Hey from across the ocean! Thanks for dropping a comment!
In a large tank...Brochis would get my vote
Great call. I saw some gorgeous ones the other day, but I don't have a suitable tank for them at the moment.
What fish are you keeping with them and how big is your tank?
I currently have them in my 75 gallon with glow light danios and kubotai rasboras. The tank teh video was filmed in, they were in a 36 gallon with some endler guppies, a peacock gudgeon and 2 bajo catfish.
my cory suddenly got white spot this past days, what treatment should i do to cure them?
Oh no, I'm sorry to hear that. I'd bump the temp up to around 80 and use some meds. I've noticed that since cories spend a lot of time on the bottom, where they can pick ich up, they tend to have a hard time shaking ich without medicine.

How many plants should you have in your corydora tank
You can add as many or few plants as you'd like - I prefer to have lots of plants because it looks pleasant but you don't need to have tons if you don't want to. I'd say adding a cave or other type of hiding spot is the most important.
do they get along with african dwarf frogs?
They should get along fine. I'm not super knowledgable on dwarf frogs, I assume your talking about dwarf African clawed frogs, but they also like to be in groups so make sure you have enough space for a decent sized group of both!
I jave a cold water tank. are there any coreys that would be ok in it?
The barbatus cory can live at temps down to 67. How cold is your tank?
If you know how to gender corys, how can you tell if yours is a male or female? I have one with 3 bettas and I want to get at least 2 or 3 more but I don’t want babies lol, the Cory I have is a teardrop shaped one

Also goldfish! You cannot keep them with goldfish I just found out…
I didn't know that, thanks for sharing! Is it cause the goldfish will try to eat them and get spined in the throat?
