Longfin Panda Corydoras

The Longfin Panda Corydoras is a selectively bred variant of the popular Corydoras panda species. This variation is known for its long and flowing fins, which give it a distinctive and elegant appearance. The Longfin Panda Corydoras exhibits the same coloration and markings as the standard Corydoras panda but with the addition of extended fins. Here's some information about the Longfin Panda Corydoras:

1. Appearance: The Longfin Panda Corydoras has a white base color with black markings arranged in a pattern similar to the classic panda coloration. The notable difference is the elongated fins, which can give them a graceful and eye-catching look.

2. Size: The Longfin Panda Corydoras typically grows to a size of around 2.5 to 3 inches (6.5 to 7.5 cm) in length.

3. Behavior: Like the standard Corydoras panda, the Longfin variant is peaceful and sociable. They prefer to be kept in groups (shoals) of at least six individuals to promote their well-being and natural behaviors.

4. Tank Setup: Provide a well-planted aquarium with hiding spots, such as caves, rocks, and driftwood. Smooth substrate is important to prevent damage to their barbels.

7. Compatibility: Longfin Panda Corydoras are peaceful and can coexist with other peaceful community fish that share similar water requirements.

8. Breeding: Breeding Longfin Panda Corydoras in captivity is possible. Provide clean water, suitable spawning sites, and a balanced diet. Once eggs are laid, they can be carefully transferred to a separate container to protect them.

The Longfin Panda Corydoras is valued for its aesthetic appeal and unique fins. If you're interested in keeping this variation, ensure that you are familiar with the care requirements of the standard Corydoras panda and also consider the additional considerations for longfin fish, such as maintaining water quality to prevent fin damage.
