panda cories or adolfoi cories?

[tara777]

Hi all !
I have a 55g planted tank with 15 cardinals, 8 serpae and 6 redeye tetras. All doing well in an established tank of course. Now I'm thinking of adding some cories and kind of fell in love with the adolfoi cories (very expensive though) Also love the pandas. They kind of look alike. Do you think adding 7 would be too many? Have any of you had any experience with either?

I have both, the biggest difference is their size. The pandas stay small while the adolfoi grow rather large.

I think adolfoi look amazing. But yes, they are expensive. What about Sterbai? They're awesome too

Get the ones you love! 7 or even 12 wouldn't be overdoing it IMO. It'd be a really good idea to quarantine if you can. At least make sure they've been at the store & healthy a couple weeks, save some $$ & heartache.

I agree with fishorama! Get the ones you love! And 12 would be a nice little group in there, no issues with that.

Definitely get the ones you like. You will be the one enjoying them. Like the others have said, a group of 12 would be a nice little group. Also, like Fishorama said, QT is always a good idea to save money and heartache. Good luck.
