TV must've been on the nature channel or something! Beautiful looking cory. Has anyone had pandas that literally hang out in a cave like it's a nightclub or something? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Matt Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 @nabokovfan87 no TV, they just want food. When I move around nearby the white clouds get active and when I open the top they go nuts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted May 5, 2022 Author Share Posted May 5, 2022 I’ve got an update on the Panda mansion. We’ve got a half dozen or more babies. They look like a couple month old so I’m imagining there may be a whole lot more but with a 29 g covered in guppy grass and Java moss they just don’t have to make an appearance. So bloody cute you little panda 🐼! 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpacedCadette Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I adore my pandas. They’re always so fun to watch. Mine seem a bit shy compared to some of the ones here! I’ve got 10 in my 40g and they’re almost always piled up on each other under my driftwood until mealtime. I’ve had them for a couple months now so maybe I just got a few with shy personalities. Either way! I still love their silliness. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Brutting Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Somehow a baby panda fry ended up in my shrimp tank! I must of moved some plants over and now one baby is in a completely different aquarium. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My "herd" started in a 55, then a 75 and they had caves they would chill in and congregate around. With a lot of space they tend to.... or some tend to go and protect their area while other fish go out and explore around in their little groups. It was kind of like they took over the pleco caves or whatever hides were around whenever they wanted. They were definitely the tank bosses when they wanted to be, but they definitely can be a reclusive group if you give them cover. They come out to eat, show activity through the afternoon and night as well. On 5/5/2022 at 6:26 PM, Kurt Brutting said: Somehow a baby panda fry ended up in my shrimp tank! Must've been on the bottom of an anubias leaf or something. did you move any into that tank from the main one? Congrats though, keep an eye on the big tank for more!

If I was trying to breed some for profit, that would be a trait I'd attempt to highlight. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpacedCadette Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Got a good shot of one of my pandas just now and immediately thought of this thread. I just love my panda cories so much 😭 Edited May 19, 2022 by SpacedCadette 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nabokovfan87 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 I wonder how much they will lighten up since they aren't on dark substrate anymore. (They will likely get sand back) This is day 2 of the herd having a little bit more room to swim around. I watched this morning as 10-15 of them were doing up/downs on the glass just enjoying the flow. It's so good to see them active again after the tank move. They definitely love their cover, but they are also a lot more active this morning. 🙂 They got spooked when I tried to take a photo of the herd on the repashy, but one of them didn't care. And yes, algae mess, but.... it's ok. It will get fixed up and be an anubias heaven here shortly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted June 2, 2022 Author Share Posted June 2, 2022 @nabokovfan87They will go back and forth on their color, ive not found this to be permanent. I just care if they are chunky monkeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am slowly but moreso trying to change my feeding. They get more than they used to. I don't want to encourage breeding, but I want them to get enough nutrition to be doing well. I have a lot of frozen food to use and I tend to drop in a repashy over night or on off days. I miss not having vibra bites 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nabokovfan87 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Very nice photo! @SpacedCadetteI saw it earlier, but then there was snail with it! Now I can give it heart eyes. LOL I have this one I took, a long time ago for a Jimmy stream, he was taking viewers photos and making them look better. You definitely captured a lot of detail on the surface of the skin and the texture of the cory, well done! It's cool to see it in that resolution because I can compare it to mine! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 Tonight was water change night. The pandas had a ball. There’s something about it that just starts the panda-monium! 🐼 I’ve been colony breeding and now must have about 15-20 babies and juveniles roaming around. I’m just so happy they’re happy! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 Well I think I underestimated how many babies are in the Panda Mansion, I think I’ve got about 30 juvies and babies in there. It’s been an explosion. We had a lot of rain this last month and all those barometric pressure changes along with cool water changes! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
