  Hi.  I am wondering who had the auction bidding
#161.  The reason I am wondering because I believe you
are the one who bought my bag of 7 baby panda
corydoras.  I was planning to talk to you about the
condition they were kept.  Anyway, here is some
information for you.  If you have any question you can
get back to my e-mail.

  They were born(hatched out of the eggs) at the end
of the Feb.  So about 1 1/2 month old.  I grow them
out with their parents few weeks after they become
free-swimming.  They were kept in unheated tank(around
75F).  Around 6.6 ph.  They were fed well many times a
day.  And water was changed 2~3 times a week, 25~50%
with dechlorinated Seattle tap water.  Few degree
cooler.  The tank light was on about 14 hrs a
day(9a.m~11p.m).  I never kept panda until this year
so I never grow out to the adult yet.  But my guess
would be another 6 months, they should be mature.  My
parents start making eggs since they are about 1
1/4"(TL).  And they grow to 1 1/2" and I think they
reached the max size.  They have been breeding since
Jan.  They do not lay many eggs but quite often.  1~2
times a week although I have 5 females and 2 males. 
That is not typical sex ratio.  But it seems my HAPPY
males can service 5 ladies just fine.  
  Anyway, please keep them with the fish with small
mouth.  I kept them with neon and glow light tetras. 
And good luck raising them.  I know they are smaller
than you normally see at the store but I'm pretty sure
that they are better shape than the fish you find at
the most of the store.  And just like any animals, I
believe young fish are cuter than adult. 
And I hope you enjoy growing them.  And 7 should be
keep them happy and you should get both sexes.  
  And if you are interested to get more, you can
contact me.  I could bring more to the next meeting or
something.
  And thank you for give them a good home, I'm sure . 
And contribute for my membership.(2 bags paid my membership).
