Aloha!
I posted a message a lil while ago about me 10 gallon tank. Today I picked up 4 Panda Corys and they are really great to watch and look like lil scurrying pandas or something. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else has/had these panda guys and how your experience with them is/was.
Another question... should I include some small tetras or some other small fish for the uppoer region of the tank?
Thank you!

I have kept them before and they were awesome little creatures. Very fun to watch and own. Just as long as you keep them well fed you should be fine. Tetras are totally your choice and the two will work fine if you decide to go with that. Anyway, hope this helps and good luck.
I have 4 of them. Unfortuantely, Out of the original 4 I had, 3 of them died (the only fishes I lost since I started the hobby, except for one case). Fortunately, the store offered full warranty, so I eventually ended up with 4 healthy ones and they seem very hardy now.
I hope yours does better than my original 4! :)

Thank you all for your comments. Today I picked up 4 white cloud mountain minnows to be tankmates for my 4 panda corys. Do you think I should pick up a couple more, since I read online that the white clouds like to be in bigger groups...?
Aloha,

White clouds are fine, but IMO they prefer cooler water. Neons, ect would be better.
The pandas are amoung the smallest of the corys. They very hardy, but feed them and do not expect them just to live on the missed food. Years ago I had two 100gal mostly for corys. Loved them, had over 25 species.
Hawaii_Fantails,
I'm not sure how old your 10g tank is and whether it's cycled.
However, I'd advise adding fish slowly to avoid ammonia spike.
I realize you have 8 fish in your tank now?
