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.
