I currently have 4 Corydoras paleatus, 3 males about 1 inch long and a femal about 1.5 inches long, look like they are doing great.
It appears to be a Corydoras semiaquilus, nowhere near a C. barbatus.
As to your first response on adding more Corydoras cats-Should I add more Panda Cory's or can I add the same amount of another Cory species (from what I read their all compatible, given water parameters are within reason).
