| Breeding | ||||
| Behaviour | I didn't find fry until they were juveniles (see below). I occasionally see the pandas display breeding behavior in this tank, but not as often as the sterbai group. | |||
| Segregation | Didn't find fry until they were nearly 1 cm TL, and the photo is from a little after that. So the photo is of a fry of unknown age (just guessing 6 to 12 weeks based on other cory fry experience). | |||
| Fry sizes | 7 days: 0mm 14 days: 0mm 21 days: 0mm | |||
| Juvenile sizes | 1 month: 0mm 3 months: 0mm 6 months: 0mm | |||

| Fry and juvenile feeding | As adults, but I threw in some microencapsulated fry food and 0.5 mm pellets when I fed fry in other tanks (~1x per day). Adults are fed 3x daily on a mix of frozen and dried food. | |||
