cw051 new panda cory

A beautiful and larger growing species of Corydoras only recently introduced to the hobby, CW051 New Panda Cory is found in the upper Rio Negro and Uapes drainages along the Brazil/Colombia/Venezuela border. An inhabitant of soft, acidic, shallow waters on fine sand substrate, they are typically found in large aggregations, sometimes mixed with the very similar CW049. Peaceful, hardy, and active, this species makes a striking addition to a community or planted aquarium. Like all Corydoras, they will do best on a fine sand substrate and should be kept in groups of 5 or more.
