Panda Corydoras Aquarium Care Guide

Keeping Panda Corydoras in an aquarium requires the right conditions.

Aquarium Information

• Care level: beginner
• Temperament: peaceful
• Diet: omnivore
• Minimum tank size: 15 gallons (57 liters) for a small group
• Compatibility: Excellent community fish, compatible with most small, peaceful tropical fish such as tetras, rasboras, dwarf cichlids, and other small catfish. Avoid housing with large or aggressive species that may prey on them.
• Special requirements: Requires a well-established aquarium with fine sand or smooth gravel substrate to protect their delicate barbels. Plenty of hiding spots (plants, driftwood, caves) are essential. They are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of at least 6 individuals to thrive and exhibit natural behaviors. Good water quality with regular partial water changes is crucial.
