OMG, o....my......flippin......God!!!!  I just saw a baby Panda Cory in my tank.  It is by far the cutest baby Panda Cory to ever be born..............He was just under 1/2 inch long.  I sure hope he survives.  
I don't have another tank to try and fish him out and separate him,  Not sure if there are more, but he was swimming in the cave area that the panda's always gather in.  Hard to see if there were more as the jungle val is quite thick in that area of the tank.  Wowzers!!
 
Congrats! My cories lay eggs reasonably often but I've not had much luck raising the fry, even in their own tank.
 
What is your other stock? Anybody who might see it as dinner?
Got at least three baby bronze, just a few days old, and a 3 month old.
Congrats on the baby panda. At a half inch I hope it should be okay. But I am no breeder, just let mine go as nature decides.
Didn't know I had the first til it poked out of java fern roots at about the size yours is now.
 
Awesome got any pics?  Very exciting for you.

There are 11 Panda Cory's + new baby, 26 Glowlight Tetra's, 10 Rummy nose Tetra's and 2 Platys.  50 gallon long tank with sand.  Lots of live plants for him to hide in.

I don't have pictures of him yet, he only swims out of the cave area and goes right back in again.  I will try and get a picture of him asap.
 
When I first saw him I though omg, he looks just like a fish.................not sure what I expected a baby panda to look like since I have never seen one, but stands to reason he would look like a fish.................................
 
Just wondering how big one of these pandas grow if a baby is half inch. I'm not familiar???

Max is 2" I believe.  The one I saw is just under 1/2".  Calling it a baby but for all I know it could be a few months old.  Not sure of it's age to be quite honest.
 
I've got a six month old baby who's not quite reached an inch long yet, so yes, yours could be a good few months old.
 
Exciting, the most I've ever seen is one egg layed on a plant, not sure from whom, then as soon as I saw it it was gone!
