Thanks everyone,that's good news.I asked at the lfs, but she looked at me funny,though she also did that when I said we have Silver dollars in with our Oscar. :) I'm going look around for some Corydoras aeneus,I've read that they are good for beginners. O0 I might get 6 albino ones.

Just make sure they are not to small when you get them, save your sev thinking they are lunch

I agree!  Every once in awhile, you come across an aggressive Severum, whom will try and eat a small fish.  Although, Ive only owned one whom chased small fish.  ;) O0

Ive got a sev with 2 peppers (yes people new cichlid for Tony)

Pandas can be hard to get which is why they cost more(I only got one too), I love lepoard cories but they cost even more than panda and are hard to get too,, Iv only found one so far.. albinos are common and cheap but fun fish to keep,, I got 5 of the buggers lol,,

Your gonna have fun as corys get addictive
