I have a juwel lido 120 planted aquairum and been offered 2 baby panda corys (1 cm in size approx) by a friend who is getting rid of his tank and found these two after everything else including plants and deco had been removed ( i have to collect today!!)
My question is will there be any compatibility issues or stocking problems if i add these to my tank.

Shocking:

6 leapard daninos
1 Dwarf gourami
1 betta
4 BN catfish possible breeding group
3 swords
6 assassin snails
3 cherry shrimp

Tank stats:

Temp 27c
PH 6.5
Ammonia 0
nitrite 0
nitrate 20
Tested weekly

Tank maintance

2x 25% water changes per week.
 
Cories are peaceful species, sometimes to a fault.

The cories won't cause any trouble, the only risk would be if you have any other aggressive fish in your tank who might pick on them.
 
The dwarf gourami can sometimes be a bit of a pain normally only with the betta though.

Why are you keeping the temp so high? Nothing you have needs that heat and it will have a very negative effect on your Zebra Danios' lifespan and these Panda Corydoras, possible even the Cherry Shrimp. Not to mention the squat dimensions of the Lido (similar to my 620T 62x39x72cm) are far from ideal for zippy danios, they deserve a tank twice as long (at least 120cm).
 
Sorry the temperature is an error and is 24 and not 27.
 
I'm not an expert on stocking but I don't think you're overstocked! But Corys like to be in bigger groups so maybe if you do get them then you could look into getting 4 (or more) other youngish Pandas too. :)

What's your Betta and DG's temprements like?
