Named for its distinctive black markings around the eyes and on the fins, resembling a panda bear, this corydoras species is not only visually appealing but also easy to care for. Panda Corydoras are small, peaceful fish that thrive in community tanks, where they spend their time exploring the substrate and interacting with their tank mates. Their hardy nature and endearing appearance make them a popular choice for aquarists of all experience levels.

Why Choose Panda Corydoras?

Panda Corydoras are a delightful addition to any freshwater aquarium, offering both aesthetic appeal and practical benefits. Their playful and social behaviour makes them a joy to watch as they forage along the tank’s bottom, keeping the substrate clean by scavenging for uneaten food. Their distinctive black and white markings stand out beautifully against a planted tank or a natural aquascape. Panda Corydoras are known for their resilience and adaptability, making them a low-maintenance species that can thrive in a variety of tank conditions.

Care Tips:

  • Water Parameters: Maintain stable water conditions with a temperature of 72°F - 78°F (22°C - 26°C), pH between 6.5 - 7.5, and soft to moderately hard water. Panda Corydoras are adaptable but thrive best in clean, well-oxygenated environments.
  • Feeding: Panda Corydoras are omnivores and should be provided with a varied diet that includes high-quality sinking pellets, algae wafers, and occasional live or frozen foods to ensure they receive balanced nutrition.
  • Tank Setup: These corydoras prefer a tank with soft, sandy substrate to protect their sensitive barbels. Provide plenty of hiding spots such as plants, driftwood, and caves to make them feel secure. A well-filtered tank with good water flow is recommended to support their health.

Perfect for All Freshwater Aquariums:

Panda Corydoras are an excellent choice for aquarists who want to add a lively, peaceful, and visually appealing species to their community tank. Their unique markings and playful nature make them a standout addition to any freshwater setup, and their hardy nature ensures they are easy to care for.
