PANDA CORY: Guide
No Customer Reviews
Panda cory catfish are a popular bottom-dweller in the freshwater-aquarium industry. They're easy to care for, making them perfect for beginners. They are also active little fish with interesting body patterns. What Is The Panda Cory?
The panda cory has black and white stripes, making it resemble a panda. Their white skin is so pale that it's almost translucent. The black markings are most often found around the eyes, the dorsal fin, at the base of the tail, and on the body near the caudal fin.
D. Tri Sulistyowati et. al. say "This fish has simple body ornament but unique that has black line in its eye and black spot at caudal."
According to Qiaolin Liu, et. al. "Corydoras, is usually named 'panda mouse' in Chinese ornamental fish market because of the external morphological feature of a light colored body with black blob covering their eyes (like the panda), a black spot the dorsal fin, and a spot on or near the base of the caudal fin."
They don't have scales but have two rows of bony plates called scutes.
Like all catfish, the panda cory has three sets of barbels that it uses to sense the world around it. They are useful for navigating the murky waters of their natural habitat.
They have sharp spines on their adipose and dorsal fin that they use for defense. If a larger fish tries to eat them, the spines get lodged into their mouth and they will choke. Panda cories also have small spines under each of their eyes.
Other Corydoras
There is also the longfin panda cory that, as the name suggests, has longer fins than the typical panda cory.
Panda cories are just a specific coloration of cory catfish, though. There are other corydoras including bronze, Sterba's, dwarf, and emerald corydoras.
Lifespan When they receive proper care, they can live for over five years. Many fish keepers have reported them living past 10 years of age.Common Names: Panda Cory, Corydoras, CoriesScientific Name: Corydoras pandaOrigin: Peru - Ucayali river systemPanda Cory Size (Length): 1-2.5 In (2.54-6.4cm)Aquarium Size: 20+ gallonsTemperament: PeacefulEase of Care: EasyPanda Cory Lifespan: 5+ years
