Panda Cory (Corydoras panda)
 
Tiny bottom‑crew with big personality
 
These little black‑and‑white cruisers bring instant charm to any tank. Panda Corys stay small, stay peaceful, and stay busy — always scooting, sifting, and doing that adorable Cory “hop” across the bottom. Their bold mask pattern pops against plants and dark substrate, giving them that signature panda look everyone loves.
 
Florida‑bred, tank‑raised, and Shed‑approved — these aren’t stressed imports. They come in confident, active, and ready to join your cleanup squad.
