I added a Panda Cory to my 10-gallon tank and it has been very calm and active. It enjoys the bottom of the tank and doesn’t bother other fish. The color pattern is striking and adds a unique touch to the aquarium.

The fish looks exactly like a panda and is very easy to care for. It’s peaceful and gets along well with my tetras and corydoras. I keep the water temperature stable and it seems happy.

After a few weeks, the Panda Cory has become a regular part of the tank. It’s not aggressive and spends most of its time near the substrate. The coloration is vibrant and very eye-catching.
