What to know before you buy.
Named for its panda-like black patches over the eyes and near the tail, the Panda Cory is a charming and popular bottom-dweller. They are peaceful, social fish that should be kept in groups on a soft, sandy substrate to protect their delicate barbels. They are constantly sifting through the sand for food, providing lots of activity.
