Im setting up my 75g for a community and I want two schools of cories. I think that if I can get them at a decent price I want pandas. What would be another good species that doesn't look like pandas

I would recommend some Elegans-type corys, such as C. elegans, C. napoensis, C. undulatus, C. guapore, C. bilineatus, C. nanus, or C. mamore. All of those will look quite different from panda corys.

I think that you should go with some of the larger cory species, so that they can compete with those boisterous loaches for food. Something like C. paleatus, C. aeneus, and even the related Brochis catfish would be good choices.

Just to clarify, you won't have any problems by going with the smaller or medium-sized cories. I just think that the larger ones would look nicer, and be at the same level on the food chain, so to speak.
