Panda Cory

Panda Cory The Panda Cory Catfish (Corydoras panda) is a lively, eye-catching schooling fish that thrives in community and planted aquariums. Its soft pinkish-tan body is beautifully contrasted by bold black markings: a dorsal fin, an eye stripe, and a spot near its tail. Peaceful and sociable, Panda Corys get along well with most nano aquarium species, including adult dwarf shrimp (though they may snack on shrimp fry). As natural scavengers, they spend most of their time exploring the substrate for food. A soft substrate like sand or smooth gravel is crucial to prevent damage to their sensitive barbels and underbellies. Avoid coarse or sharp materials, which can harm these delicate fish. Panda Corys are hardy and low-maintenance, readily eating a variety of dry and frozen foods. They adapt well to typical tropical freshwater conditions, provided that regular tank maintenance and water quality standards are consistently upheld.
