Corydoras Panda Long Fin 3cm

The Long Fin Panda Corydoras (Corydoras panda var.) is a captivating selectively bred variant of the beloved Panda Cory, featuring the same iconic black-and-white panda markings — creamy white body with bold black patches over the eyes, dorsal fin, and tail base — but with dramatically elongated, flowing fins that add an extra dimension of elegance to this already charming fish. A stunning centrepiece for planted nano and community aquariums, the Long Fin Panda Cory combines the hardy, peaceful nature of the standard Panda Cory with a truly eye-catching finnage display.
