Don't forget to check out our plants for combined postage and keeping the fish happy in transit!

Panda corys do well with other cory species and small catfish species such as aspidoras. They also get along well with rasboras, tetras, and danios. They prefer to school at the bottom of the tank, so consider adding fish that like to swim in the middle or top of a tank to fill out your aquarium.
