Tyler LaZerte Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 All of the parameters for the aquarium work well for both species. I am just having a hard time choosing! Corydoras panda OR Corydoras bilineatus "San Juan" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cys aquatics Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Hi @Tyler LaZertei personally would go with the Corydoras bilineatus "San Juan" because they are a tiny bit bigger and they have almost a shiny scales, but if you want a smaller corydora with a black and white color i would go with the panda corydora. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anewbie Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 The Corydoras bilineatus "San Juan" look more interesting if you can find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler LaZerte Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 @Cys aquatics. Thank you for your input! I do love the black and white of the pandas but I know the San Juans have that cool iridescence and I know a LFS that has them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler LaZerte Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 @anewbie That is true! Luckily, my LFS has about 20 right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am just having a hard time choosing! Corydoras panda OR Corydoras bilineatus "San Juan" Get the bilineatus. I have a close relative to the San Juan cories -- the Corydora Elegans -- and the shimmer and sheen to the scales is beautiful. They're also utterly adorable and a little different from the more common Cory species. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler LaZerte Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 @laritheloud @anewbie @Cys aquatics Couldn't pick between the two so I did some research and found out I can have a group of both! So no need to pick 😁 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler LaZerte Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 @laritheloud The only way any bladder or pond snails will come in my tank is if they hitchhike on some plants. I'm only putting nerites and a rabbit snail in 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few little ones make it when them munching on the eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler LaZerte Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 Well that's good to know that they will take care of any hitchhikers. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
