Are Panda & Paleatus good tank mates for Pygmy Corys?

Post by Reindas »

Hi I just got 7 Pygmy's Corys and since they are so small I placed them with my Pandas and Paleatus. I think it will be OK, but I like to ask you, just be sure. This just temporary also have setup a tank just for them but I need to wait until it get established.

Tanks!
Regards.

I love my Corys! (*)

Hi Reindas,

As long as the tank isn't overcrowded, I think you'll be okay. I have pygmies with large Corydoras delphax, and they ignore each other.

Cheers, Eric

In the long run, C paleatus would want it colder than the other 2 species.

After what you said I made a table of my Cats. Since I have the tanks on different rooms temperature changes and I have a tank that normally stays over 80 and I don have a working cooling system. I'll put the higher tolerant spices there and the others according to the tanks temp. The 20 Long is the offending one.
