Received my Longfin Panda Corys in great condition. They were active from day one and have formed a nice school. The colors are vibrant and they seem very happy in the planted tank. Easy to care for and a real highlight in the community setup.

These fish are absolutely charming. The long fins and markings stand out in the tank. I kept them in a 10-gallon with live plants and they’re very peaceful. They don’t stress other fish and enjoy the substrate.

The fish arrived healthy and were active when I received them. I’ve had them for two months now and they’re still lively. A bit shy at first, but they settled in well. Would recommend for anyone looking for a colorful, active fish.

Perfect addition to my nano tank. The schooling behavior is delightful and they clean the tank by eating small debris. The coloration is striking and they look great with moss and driftwood.
