Yes yes yes 🤣🤣🤣 this made me properly laugh out loud!

[@andreacasoli3371]

@@FishShopMatt Glad to hear 😂 to be honest Corydoras panda were my second option when i set up my Ram tank: i wanted red Venezuelan so bad because of MD videos of your fish and because they are venezuelan like the Rams, but apparently here in northern Italy they are rare

[@FishShopMatt]

@@andreacasoli3371 that's really interesting, it's funny how certain fish are harder to get hold of depending on where you are in the world.

[@andreacasoli3371]

@@FishShopMatt yeah definetly, it also depends in the area where you live, for example if i drive 1 hour i'll be in Milan and there for sure there are Red Venezuelan but it's not worth

What’s better than Fish Shop Matt talking about Panda Corydoras while wearing a SpaceJam t-shirt? Not much. I ended up getting my panda corys after watching so many MD videos with Matt.

[@MissBeth19]

Thank you for doing this fish profile Matt 😊 just proved to me how little my local fish store knows about their fish (they told me that if they go to the top there must be an issue with water quality; even though I told them it wasn't very often and looked more as though they were playing when going to the surface. Then, they told me my 15gal tank run on a duel sponge filter wasn't enough for my 6 panda cories even though they were the only species in the tank plus it was planted... 🤔 Apparently 5 out of 6 dying within days of going into my tank was purely my fault.. claimed it was an ammonia spike despite me checking with API test kit and there was 0.) As an update I haven't lost any fish since I last commented asking if they were a sensitive species and I did treat the whole tank with melafix for a few day & they all seem to be absolutely fine now 😊

[@FishShopMatt]

That's very frustrating glad you are on the road to success now.

That's an amazing success rate! They must love your aquarium.

[@Mystrishv]

I just got 3 panda juveniles and 3 adult bandit corys. I had them separated, but once they were put together the babies started eating better and being more active. Although, the adults are now teaching them how to hide lol I heard they are from cooler waters and seem to be doing well at the range you mentioned. Glad I got that right!

[@FishShopMatt]

Perfect! They're great when they start grouping together.

I love the way you cover everything the way you do. First time watcher, long time stalker... lol thanks MD. If I were to make a suggestion, I'd like to see rasbora(any of them, even mention the other colors)

[@sharongould2689]

Here panda cories seem to be more expensive. Bronzes and albinos are cheap, peppers are a bit more expensive, and then species like pandas, sterbai, venezulians, various other spotted etc are all quite expensive. I would love pandas or sterbai but their price is a bit offputting for getting a decent number... but I would really like to get a smaller species than the bronze. Maybe a fish file on guppies and breeding them? Pretty common place fish but sometimes they can be a good one to cover. I recently got guppies and omg watching the babies grow up is awesome! So much fun! My first two (since added more girls to the collection) are panda guppies and I LOVE their beautiful markings!

i'm loving your videos. I've been watching MD for ages and when you started your chanel I just had to watch. I curently have 3 tiny little panda corys with 4 bronze corys in my dwarf cichlid tank (GBR, BR, Keyhole). none of the cichlids bother them, in fact they just ignore them completely. I also have 3 Electric Blue Acaras in the tank, with one of them showing some agression towards plants (standard breeding behaviour for Acaras). and even he doesnt bother the corys at all. Corys are such a fun speciese to watch dance around the tank when they arent trying to dig to the bottom glass. Keep up the great work with your videos. I cant wait to see your EBA fact file. much love from the NW of England.
