    Juz make sure the gravel is not the type with sharp edges and feed them sinking food. Other than that they shoud do quite well as they tend to be quite hardy.

    only a few things
    1. they don't eat **** (yeah, well, some people do think that)
    2. gravel 'sharpness' is not as important as good water conditions
    i've heard of cories being caught where the gravel drew blood from humans
    3. they're lonely unless they have many friends
    4. if you need to add meds/salt etc, predissolve and add slowly
    just in case
    seng bros told me a story about a panda that swam into a salt solution stream and died on the spot

    yeah, that should be all []

    Yeah, DEA's right. Corys, esp Pandas, are very suseptible to water quality changes. had a few of them, their barbels are not as tough as the other corys - got worn away by lonestar gravel in a few months time - so gotta take them out.

    Another thing, keep at least 4 corys - can be different strands - doesn't matter. BTW, tell your friends they don't clean out other fishs' waste. They love algae wafer and live tubifex worm. if you give them frozen blood worms, you may just see them sucking out the contents form the harder outer shell of the worm - and you can also witness the worm being pushed in and out of its gills[] as the cory "squeezes" out the contents. IMO, doesn't bother them too much

    pause a while
    pandas dun have weaker barbels compared to other fish
    if your conditions are ok, the barbels won't be worn, period
    how often do you change the water?
