Corys And Angelfish.

[Luketendo]

I know Angelfish like a higher temp, and Panda Corys a lower.

I'm going to have both and want to know what temperature I should have.

Hi Luketendo

It's not the best thing to keep corys with large cichlids, like angels, because of the aggression factor as well as the temperature difference. Pandas are delicate corys and are especially hard to keep under difficult circumstances.

If you really want corys, you might consider getting either C. sterbai or C. gossei. They both get along fine in warner water and are larger and sturdier fish than the pandas. Both are very beautiful and colorful fish. They work well with discus too.

Ok then I'll have a look.

Shame because my sister loves pandas.

I keep both pandas and Angels, and have not have a problem at all. I know there are a number of people who do the same here as well.

Also, with chichlid aggressive concern, it really depends on the individual fish. I would say give it a try and see what happens, you can always take them back.

My one I bought today is a bit shy and I think it'll be fine, it's quite small probably no more than 2-3 inches.
I'm getting another tomorrow, I saw them today and there less than 2 inches.

I did want pandas beccause of my sister, then again if I find Sterbai I would change my mind, as I love Sterbai.

Pretty rare around me though.

Hi Luketendo

Even though some C. sterbai might be farm raised, this is the time of year to find nice big wild caught ones. I hope you get lucky with them.

If you and your sister really want C. pandas, why not consider setting them up in a small single species tank? They are delicate fish, quite sensitive to their environment. They are more apt to thrive by themselves, or with only a group of one of the dwarf species of corys.

My parents don't want anymore tanks.

I'm getting a Juwel Lido for christmas, that's basically the limit!
