Planner result: Use caution. This pairing may work, but monitor behavior and provide suitable conditions.
Keep the water at 22~25°C and pH 6.8~7.3, where both planner ranges overlap. Panda Cory prefers medium hardness and Cherry Shrimp prefers medium hardness.
At least 41 L and about 60 cm long, the larger of the two minimums (Panda Cory: 41 L, Cherry Shrimp: 20 L). Group sizes add to the bioload, so bigger is safer.
Panda Cory: at least 6 (shoaling fish). Cherry Shrimp: at least 6 (colony-forming).
Adult shrimp: usually fine. Baby shrimp: not recommended. Dense plants and hiding places reduce losses.
Each species' values are cross-checked against the references below and normalized into the planner's own ranges; the verdict comes from the planner's published rules. No text or images are copied.
