Awesome! Panda cories are one of my favorites.

I am still excited about them, I keep watching the, they run up and down the tank, back and fourth, they follow each other, they are just so much fun to watch.

I am feeding them sinking shrimp pellets right now, not sure what else to buy for them to eat?

Also, I bought bloodworm's, I believe they are just dried, and they float on the top of the water, I was trying to get them to go to the bottom so that my rams and badis could eat them, anyone have any advice on how to get the blood worms to the bottom on the tank? Thanks.

I'm not sure you can make the freeze dried ones go to the bottom. Soaking them for awhile in some tank water might do it. Next time, get some frozen bloodworms and feed them with a syringe....then you can squirt them on the bottom.

As for the Cories, getting a variety of bottom feeder type pellets is good, as well as algae wafers. I usually alternate between bottom feeder foods for my cories.
