Overview
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.

Care guide
Everything you need to keep Corydoras Panda healthy in a South African setup.
Water parameters
Keep pH 6–7.5 and 20–25°C. Stable parameters matter more than chasing perfect numbers — acclimate new arrivals slowly.

Behaviour
Corydoras Panda is generally peaceful. Keep in a group where possible for natural behaviour.
Tankmates
Pair with similarly sized peaceful tankmates in freshwater fish. Avoid fin-nippers or species that outgrow this fish.
Breeding
Breeding notes for Corydoras Panda vary by line and water chemistry — ask your local shop about proven pairs in SA.
Settling this fish in?
Condition the tap water, seed the filter, test through the first weeks — most early losses trace back to one of those.
