The Panda Corydoras (Corydoras panda) is a small, peaceful freshwater catfish highly popular in the aquarium hobby for its distinctive black-and-white markings that resemble a gian t panda. While the term "sailfin" is more commonly associated with the Venezuelan Red Sailfin Cory (C. venezuelanus), there is a Longfin Panda Cory variety bred specifically for elongated, flowing fins that create a "sail-like" appearance. Quick Care Facts Social Needs: They are highly social schooling fish and must be kept in groups of at least 6 to feel secure and display natural behaviors. Substrate: A smooth sand substrate is essential to protect their sensitive barbels (whiskers) from injury and infection. Diet and Tank Mates Panda Cories are omnivorous scavengers that spend most of their time sifting through substrate for food. Diet: They thrive on a mix of high-quality sinking pellets, algae wafers, and frozen treats like bloodworms or brine shrimp. Ideal Mates: They are excellent for community tanks with other peaceful species like tetras, rasboras, and even shrimp. Avoid housing them with large, aggressive fish like cichlids. Show more
