I know cories cant survive in a fish bag for a long time because of the air needed so would it be bad to order cories from an online store. The reson I asked is because I cant find pandas anywhere and with this big wave it kinda set some of my lfs stocks back I really want these pandas any good online stores i can get them from...........

I don't see why not, especially if you get a live delivery guaruantee and pay for overnight delivery. I was leary about doing this, but recently took the chance and made my first on-line purchase. I am very pleased with my purchase. Since you can't buy them locally, try online. I know there is some risk involved, but probably the only way some people can acquire certain fish that are not available locally.

Yes, they should be fine if you pay for the shipping (overnight) and for a garentee. THough you will want to get the pandas into there new home fairlyquickly without shocking htem.

Garyroland recently bought a whole mess of cories from liveaquaria.com and they made it just fine... I also recommend liveaquaria.com. The price is a bit high... But the quality and shipping (only $25) is well worth it...

I had some very delicate fish delivered from them (black angelfish and german rams) and they were happy with little/no stress at all.

Actually, the ability for cories to utilize atmospheric oxygen to supplement their underwater respiration makes them some of the easiest fish to transport in this respect (both cories and plecs (and catfish in general tend to ship exceptionally well).
