	Panda Fry Update
RNJ_Punk Big Fish Cory Fanatic Posts: 395 Kudos: 114 Votes: 137 Registered: 12-Nov-2006	Today my baby panda is 25 days old! He is growing alot and within the next few weeks will be joining his parents and relatives in the main tank. His barbels are nice and long and he has the distinct panda stripe across his eye. I would say he is about a centimeter and a half long...lol. He has a nice fat belly and is really fast. Just thought I would let you all know how the little guys is doing. Hopefully soon I will be telling you all about how he is digging around in the Eco- Complete in the main tank!

RNJ_Punk Big Fish Cory Fanatic Posts: 395 Kudos: 114 Votes: 137 Registered: 12-Nov-2006	Well my little fry is about 7 weeks old now...probably 12-13 mm long. I am going to probably release him to the main tank in a week or two. He is doing great,eating alot,and getting very nice colors.

Calilasseia Ultimate Fish Guru Panda Funster Posts: 5496 Kudos: 2828 Votes: 731 Registered: 10-Feb-2003	Has he passed through the 'pepper dots' stage yet? Strictly speaking if a baby Panda is around 10-12 mm long and showing signs of being in excellent health, then provided his parents aren't sharing their home with anything too boisterous, he could go in with them at that size. Around 6 weeks of age or so, the parts of the body that are nicely pinkish-orange in the adult acquire a sprinkling of black 'pepper dots' - like the one in this photo below that should be familiar to anyone who's browsed my MSN photo album *Attached Image:* Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002

Well unfortunately my fry has come down with a bacterial/fungal infection on his anal and pelvic fins along with 2 of my other young cories. I have started treatment for him and hopefully in a few days he will start to look better

RNJ_Punk Big Fish Cory Fanatic Posts: 395 Kudos: 114 Votes: 137 Registered: 12-Nov-2006	Edited by Platy_Punk My fry will be nine weeks old on Tuesday. He is recovering very very very well. He is keeping his belly full and resting alot. I am hoping he will be completly recovered in the next few weeks. He has also grown a little while being in QT and has statred to have peppery markings like Cali told about above. Thanks to all who have helped!
