Re: [GSAS-Member] Panda Corys

["meredith crichton" <bluedooratwork@hotmail.com>]

   I would love six if you still have some, I have the perfect 10 planted set
   up and ready

   Cash is fine and or I could also trade 2 albino cories, or as many black
   tail guppies as any person could want.

   Thank you, Meredith

     >   Hi.  I am wondering if anyone would like some young Panda Corys about
     3~4 month old  bred by me.  About 3/4" TL and 1/4" wide.  I could bring to
     the meeing this month if anyone interested.
     >   I would like $2/fish(cash please) and it is highly recommended group
     of 6 or more.  Since they do better in their own group.  I could get more
     if I bring to the store but I prefer that they would be kept by good
     hobbist.  So I try here first.
     >     Also, before you consider adopting them.  I will like you to read
     the condition I am keeping them.
     >
     >   I kept 4 adults(it happened to be 1 male and 3 females) in 5 G with
     powerhead with sponge(rated 550L or 145GPH) probably little less since
     have sponge on the intake.  They do enjoy the cool water with good current
     that they are originally from the base of river in high ground(mountain) I
     read.
     >   The tank had no heater but had 1 incandecent bulb and 1 compact
     florecent.
     >   So temperature hover from 68F~75F or so.  I turn on the light in the
     morning and turn off when I go to bed.  So light does warm the water some
     during the day and cool down a little at night just like in the Nature.
     >     The water is Seattle tap so around 7 ph.
     >     Don't know the gh since my "master test kit " don't have test for
     it.
     >   There are some layer of fine sand with some bogwood with Java Fern and
     Java/X'mas moss.  Some Frogbit, Riccia and Duckweed.
     >    They  have  been laying eggs every 4~5 days.  About 15~20 each
     time.  Pandas are not big as some of the Cory species.
     >   Now I have 2 tanks(5,10) with Pandas.  One with 3 Hill Stream Loaches
     since I believe their optimal condition is similar.(cool water, high
     oxygen and good current.  I am considering white cloud minnor and cherry
     shrimp as tankmate also.  If I decide to set another tank or move to
     bigger tank.
     >
     >   The reason I list those condition because I think they do better in
     the condition I listed.  I'm sure they can do fine with typical community
     set up.  Around 75F around 7 ph with peaceful small tankmates like Tetras
     or  Rasboras.  But they do prefer cooler water with current from my
     experience.
     >
     >   I have about 20~30 youngs ready to go to new home.  Either $2/fish or
     consider some trade.
     >   I could trade with another Panda Corys.  You might wonder why but I do
     want to broden the gene.  I don't want in-breed.
     >   I could have some young Pair or group German/Blue/gold Rams but not
     Bolivian.
     >   I could have some Corydoras.  There are so many out there but depends
     on what kind I suppose.  I am especially have eyes for Albino Sterbai if
     anyone have it and ready to trade.  Since my regulars finally start to
     spawn.
     >   I can have some group of peaceful Tetras.  Like Ember(Hyphessobrycon
     amandae ), rainbow(Nematobrycon lacortei ) or Rummy-nose(Hemigrammus
     rhodostomus  or Hemigrammus bleheri )
     >
     >     But I may be interested in what you have.(you never know and never
     hurt to ask)  So if you are interested in young Panda Cories, please let
     me know.  So I can figure how many group I should bring to the meeting.
