Housing: Panda Corydoras fish are shoaling species, meaning they prefer to live in groups of at least 6 individuals. A suitable aquarium for them should be well-planted with hiding spots like caves, driftwood, and dense vegetation.

Keeping the water quality pristine is essential, and a moderate flow filter should be used to maintain good water circulation.

In an aquarium setting, they readily accept high-quality sinking pellets, flakes, and frozen or live foods like bloodworms, brine shrimp, and daphnia.
