About This Species

To protect our animals and to ensure they get to our customers healthy, we will only ship orders with Nano Fish via UPS Next Day Air.

Panda Corydoras are absolutely one of our favorite small fish. If you're looking for a cute, schooling fish, these guys are for you! These Panda Corydoras we sell are bred in captivity by hobbyist and are not wild-caught. This means that they come from a sustainable source and are typically much hardier compared to wild-caught Panda Corydoras. Due to their adorable schooling behavior, these fish have become pretty sought after in the hobby. We sell them at about 1/2 inch to 1 inch in length but they can grow to a a max size at about 2 inches,

We recommend keeping these guys in groups of 5 or more for them to feel safe in a large school.  

Panda Corydoras are pretty easy to care as long as they are introduced to a mature, cycled tank. They can acclimate to a wide range of parameters.  The following are our water parameters we keep them at:

Our Tank Water Parameters

PH: 7.2 to 7.5
GH: 7 to 8
KH: 3 to 4
TDS: 180 to 250
Temp: 72 to 75

We feed them a mix of live baby brine shrimp, frozen daphnia and high-quality flake food.

They are the cutest fish

These are the cutest, sweetest fish ever! All 10 arrived alive, although 2 appeared to be in rough shape after shipping. It’s been 2 days and they seem to have gotten better and I’m hopeful they’ll make a full recovery! The others are all so healthy and playful! I love them!

Active little fish <3

Pretty active little fish! I ordered six, and unfortunately one passed away the day after arrival. I expected this, as it was lopsided and not swimming well even in the bag. Things like this can happen when ordering live animals, so I don’t mind terribly. The other fish are perfectly healthy and extremely fun to watch. Overall, I’m very happy with this order!

Happy cory

I bought 6 panda corys and they arrived some days ago and they were all very active. I am happy how they look and behave, so far they are all alive, they are in their quarantine tank to decompress for awhile. They look big and happy, they are very active, a little skittish but that is probably because traveling was very scary for them. Having a group of 6 should help them to warm up.

Healthy Fish

Fish arrived alive and apparently healthy because they were very active after being acclimated and placed in the quarantine tank.

These little guys are so adorable! As always, they arrived healthy and are doing great in their new tank. Couldn't ask for more from a company.

My favorite!
They arrived in excellent shape, well packed and happy. I left them in the bag, floating in the aquarium, overnight, then fed the tank, released them, fed for them, they went right for it.
They swim around, from bottom to top, end to end, into the plants and out. Sometimes, they disappear for a while, but watching them is really wonderful!

I put all 5 in my newly planted 50 gallon tank. They are truly little clowns, and extremely healthy.
