Popular names are Panda Cory, Panda Corydoras and Panda Catfish. The Panda Cory Cat comes from the tributaries of larger river systems in Central and South America, and is a peaceful bottom dwelling scavenger. The Panda is gold with black patches covering the eyes, dorsal fin, and at the base of the tail. Youll find it difficult to get hold of wild specimens these days, though. Virtually all of the fish entering the trade are produced commercially on farms.
