Longfin Panda Cory

The long fin variation of the panda cory does not occur in nature. These cory are bred in Singapore and prized for their long dorsal and caudal fins. Otherwise, the fish looks just like the standard panda cory.

Quick Facts

Care Guide

Tank setup: Give them a heater, a gentle filter and a soft sand or smooth, fine gravel bottom. Plants, driftwood and a few shady spots help them feel secure. Corys are sensitive to salt and some medications (especially copper), so check labels before treating the tank.

Feeding: Corys need their own food, not just leftovers. Feed sinking pellets or wafers once or twice a day so food reaches the bottom. They also enjoy frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp.

Tankmates: Corys get along with almost any peaceful community fish, such as tetras, rasboras, livebearers, gouramis, angelfish and bettas. Avoid large fish that could swallow them and aggressive bottom dwellers.

Good to know: The long fins are easy targets for fin-nippers, so keep them with gentle tankmates only.
