Thanks all. I think I better call off the adoption of my Panda Corys. I think all have found home. I probably have some at April or May. Since I am still getting eggs.

Anyway, I think I would take $ from you if you don't mind. I already got some fish trade in work and I need to shuffle things around. I guess see you at the meeting. meredith crichton wrote: 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.

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.
