Will my pandas be happier with a few driftwood caves, or do they not like to hide? My tank is planted so there are some shaded places already.
Do small corys need hiding places?

What I was going to say, although some species of fish really require hiding places such as cichlids, but all fish like to have quite time now and again, and you should provide them with a place to chill out for a bit, corys are no exception.
Hi,
You should deffiantley make some hiding places for your Cories. Cories, like most catfish, like some dark places.

Intresting... I suppose I can get a driftwood or rock cave and add some java moss when I have the chance. Anybody have any suggestions about where to get a natural cave-style decor online? Most sites I've visited have artificial stuff, but if I'm to attach java moss I'll need real rock/wood.
well.... i always cheat and use terracotta pots which i can use fish line and hold java moss down.
I just wanted to add that I just recently placed a smallish terracotta pot in my 29g (that is home to 7 panda cories and 6 albinos) just because I took out a rock and thought it would a good temporary "hiding spot". Everytime I look in the tank there are 3-4 Panda cories in the pot. I had no idea they'd like it, or I would have done this before.
I say get some terracotta pots. You could hide them with some plants so they aren't so noticeable. Your cories will love them!
I had to throw in my picture.
I thought it was so cute that I took one when i first saw them in the pot. Its not the best, but you can see them laying in it.
