  1. @Fish FolkMy lone julii has stumpy barbells but my lone Panda Cory has super-duper long ones! I have some areas where I can try changing the substrate which would cover at least 1/2 the tank...
  2. Thanks for the advice everyone. I will see if feeding after lights out helps! @Fish FolkI have flourite in 2/3 of the tank and gravel in the the other 1/3. I always drop food above the gravel side (best area for viewing!), the sinking food lands on the gravel but the frozen food disperses. I have wondered if flourite could be the problem. If so, could I add sand or gravel as a topper?
  3. Hi, thanks for your reply. The first time I bought the Panda corys I bought 6 or 8. When I only had 3-4 left I bought 3-4 more. Only one Panda has survived and has gotten pretty big over the last year! I added 3 julii. I wanted more but since the survival rate was so low I didn’t. They looked very healthy in the store and always looked healthy at home. None of the other fish bully them and all other fish look great. I do drop sinking food into the tank but I can try dropping them in hours after I feed the frozen food and when the tank is darker. I would love to have 6-12 corys if they survive!
  4. Hello, I am having a difficult time keeping corys. I have tried panda corys and recently the julii. I never see any of them swimming oddly or ill, my Cory count just goes down after 1-2 months. I do have one Panda Cory that I have had at least 8-10 months. I have a heavily planted 40 gallon community tank that is under stocked with rummy nose tetras, platys, red cherry shrimp, and a bristlenose pleco. I do weekly water changes: pH close to neutral, nitrates kept ~5-15 (that works best for my plants), I bought 3 julii 2 months ago and there were still 2 last week but I think I am down to one. Maybe corys just don’t do well in my tank? I feed frozen foods, sinking algae wafers, sinking shrimp pellets. Any advice?
