Panda cories aren't that hardy though.
All cories are sensitive in some way to abnormal water conditions, so definitely make sure the tank is fully cycled when you add them.
C. aeneus (Bronze and Albinos) are both pretty hardy. Peppered cories are also pretty hardy.
Really, most cories will work...as long as the tank is fully cycled. I just wouldn't add too many at one time (4 is a good number).
If you wanted Pandas, I'd wait until the tanks have been fully cycled for a few weeks before adding them.
