Common Name: Panda Cory
Scientific Name: Corydoras panda
Genus: Corydoras
Wild Origin: Upper Amazon Basin, particularly in Peru
The Panda Cory is a small, peaceful catfish species known for its distinctive black-and-white coloration, which resembles the markings of a panda. Its pale body is contrasted by black patches around the eyes, dorsal fin, and base of the tail, giving it a striking and easily recognizable appearance. Panda Corydoras are highly popular among aquarists due to their gentle nature, bottom-dwelling behavior, and ability to coexist peacefully with a variety of tank mates. These fish typically grow to about 2 inches (5 cm) in length and can live for up to 5-8 years in captivity with proper care.
Habitat and Tank Requirements:
In their natural habitat, Panda Corys are found in slow-moving, heavily vegetated waters with soft substrates. To replicate these conditions in an aquarium, it’s important to provide soft, slightly acidic to neutral water with plenty of hiding spots and a sandy or smooth gravel substrate.
Tank Size and Water Parameters:
| PARAMETER | RECOMMENDED |
|---|---|
| Tank Size | Minimum 40 litres |
| Temperature | 68-77°F (20-25°C) |
| pH | 6.0-7.5 |
| Hardness | Soft to moderately hard water, 2-12 dGH |
Panda Corys thrive in well-planted tanks with soft substrates, such as sand or smooth gravel, which protect their sensitive barbels as they scavenge for food. A peaceful, calm environment with gentle water flow is ideal. Live plants, rocks, and driftwood can be used to create hiding spots, helping them feel secure.
We Recommend:
These carefully selected options provide a well-balanced nutritional profile, ensuring that your fish receive the essential nutrients they need for optimal growth, vibrant colors, and overall health. By offering a variety of these high-quality foods, you can help maintain the vitality and well-being of your fish, promoting a healthy and thriving aquarium environment.
Behavior and Compatibility:
Panda Corys are peaceful, social fish that thrive in groups of at least 4-6 individuals. They are best known for their bottom-dwelling habits, where they spend most of their time scavenging for leftover food. Their calm and non-aggressive nature makes them excellent tank mates for other peaceful fish, such as tetras, rasboras, and dwarf gouramis.
Panda Corys should not be housed with aggressive or large fish that may outcompete them for food or cause stress. Due to their active behavior, they are a wonderful addition to community tanks, adding life to the bottom of the aquarium.
