Panda Cory
The Panda Cory has enough black on the dorsal fin and the body to give it its common name. Fortunately, these cory do not require bamboo shoots, but scavenge uneaten food at the bottom of the aquarium. Panda cory do not grow very large and are tank-raised in the aquatic trade. Wild Panda Cory from Venezuela are quite expensive but are rarely available. AquariumFish.com imports our tank-raised panda cory from Singapore.

I bought a Panda Cory for my community tank and it has been very active and calm. It enjoys the bottom feeding and doesn’t compete with other fish. Easy to care for and looks great in the tank.

This cory is a beautiful addition to my aquarium. It’s active but not aggressive, and it helps clean the substrate by eating leftover food.
