Corydoras Panda
The Panda Corydoras is a peaceful and highly social freshwater catfish, native to the Ucayali River basin in Peru. Named for its distinctive black-and-white markings that resemble a panda bear, this species is a favorite among aquarists for both its appearance and gentle nature.
These bottom-dwelling fish are active and engaging, often seen foraging along the substrate or resting in groups. Their hardy nature and calm temperament make them an excellent addition to community aquariums, particularly when kept in schools.
Panda Corydoras thrive in well-maintained tanks with soft substrates and plenty of hiding spaces, where they display natural and entertaining behaviors.
