Description
The Panda Corydora is a charming and peaceful bottom-dwelling catfish, easily recognized by its distinctive black patches around the eyes, dorsal fin, and caudal peduncle, reminiscent of a panda. These active scavengers thrive in groups of six or more and are an excellent addition to most community aquariums.
