I only have panda corys in my tank and they are awesome.

Just wonder...where did you get your pandas? I have 4 and I'm looking for 2 more and NO ONE seems to have any left.

Hitting up a few stores to tomorrow and trying my luck.

Hahaha thanks. put some plants from the pandatank in my breeding tank. Must have been eggs in there. They let me think they didn't spawn. Sneaky between the plants they did hihihi.

Congrats on the accidental breeding! Nothing suggests you are keeping them happy like that...

Surprise surprise. Discovered two c.Panda amongst the Aeneusfry.

That sounds great, would love to see it. Seems like there is always some fish/biotope I am wanting to set up. I saw some WC Eel Tailed Banjo cats (Platystacus cotylephorus) for sale recently and had a bad case of wanting to set up a biotope species only tank for them...

Ahhh misunderstood !!!! Yeah that's my dream too. There is a guy overhere that has a 3 meter tank that way (one of the few with such large tank). I'll try and give you the adress of his thread on the Dutch forum later. Amazing !!!!!

Ehh, I actually prefer the stranger softer water species. Just one of those issues we realize and deal with. RO/DI water is our only real viable solution for maintaining anything requiring soft parameters. I have been tossing around the idea of doing a true Amazonian black water biotope with tannin stained water, driftwood, no plants, and spotlight LED's to reproduce the dappling of the minimal light in their environment. Likely would do a breeding group of Hatchets, checkerboard cichlids, and some type of Corydoras and a nicer Panaque or Ancistrus family L type.

Okay so you have to chew your water before swallowing it? I'll ask a Scottish expert if there are any other ones you could keep in that.

Average water out of our tap is Ph - 8.2, TDS - 350-400ppm. We can water change our Tanganyikans and they just love those parameters, but any softer water South Americans/South East Asian fish can survive. I have seen some folks breed them locally, but other then peppered/bronze cories, the rest need far softer water.
