The Panda Cory is a fascinating fish species that has captured the hearts of many fish keepers.
Here are some additional details about Panda Corys that may be helpful for those interested in keeping them as pets:
- Panda Corys are a type of catfish that are native to South America, specifically the Amazon River basin.
- These fish are typically small, growing up to around 2.5 inches in length.
- In addition to their peaceful nature, Panda Corys are also known for being very active and playful fish.
- They are omnivores, meaning they will eat both plant and animal-based foods. In the wild, they feed on things like insect larvae, crustaceans, and small fish.
- When keeping Panda Corys in an aquarium, it is important to provide them with a soft substrate (like sand) to avoid damaging their delicate barbels (whisker-like appendages around their mouths).

- As mentioned, Panda Corys are social fish and do best when kept in groups of 6 or more. They will often school together and explore their environment as a group.
- Water quality is important for keeping these fish healthy, so regular water changes and maintenance are essential.
- With proper care, Panda Corys can live for several years in captivity.
