Pandas Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 I just bought 5 panda corys yesterday to add to my 20gallon tank. I only had 2 female bettas at the time in the tank so I thought it would be a nice addition. The first day they seemed not to mind and weren't harrassing the pandas but sometime last night 2 died and I noticed their fins had been nipped. It breaks my heart but I dont think the other 3 are safe so If anyone wants to buy them I live in calgary alberta NW area. Text: 587-586-5955. Also appologies if this isn't the correct place to post something like this, if it isn't please let me know, thankyou! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligne Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 If the fish are in danger just put them up for free. Sometimes our mistakes cost money. That's how we learn. I'm in edmonton so I can't take them. If your running a tank it doesn't hurt to have a small quarantine tank for times like this. Find a cheap used 5 or 10 gallon get a sponge filter and air pump plus a heater. That way you always have a back up. My quarantine setup cost me $100 but I purchased a brand new ehiem Jager heater for it. That was half the cost alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maligne Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 The other option is sometimes if I buy fish and it doesn't work out I call the store they where purchased at and take them back. You may only get %40 or %30 percent credit from the original purchase price but in any case finding them a new tank is better than having your bettas tear them up. I don't know your particular financial situation but when it comes to fish in general, panda Cory's don't cost that much. I had some emperor tetras that terrorized my rummy nose tetras. I gave them back to the store and asked nothing I'm return. I just needed them out of the tank. It was a $25.00 lesson on tetras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
