Quick Overview The Panda Corydoras (Corydoras panda) is easily one of the most popular and endearing species in the entire aquarium hobby. Native to the clear, river systems of Peru, they get their name from their beautiful off-white to pinkish bodies accented by distinct black patches over their eyes, dorsal fin, and the base of their tail—closely mimicking a giant panda! Growing slightly smaller than other common cories (maxing out at around 1.5 to 2 inches), these social catfish bring endless energy, curiosity, and a distinct cuteness factor to any freshwater community setup.

Bacolod Hobbyist Tip: Compared to the ultra-rugged Bronze or Peppered Corydoras, Panda Cories are a bit more sensitive to pristine water conditions and high nitrates. To keep them thriving in our warm Bacolod climate, ensure you are staying on top of your weekly water changes and keeping the aquarium substrate clean of heavy organic waste.
As with all cory catfish, a soft, fine sand substrate is mandatory to protect their sensitive sensory barbels from wearing down or getting infected. Stop by our shop today to pick up high-quality smooth aquatic sand, premium sinking pellets, and a lively school of locally acclimated Panda Corydoras!
