H.R. Richards collected the species in 1968, but it wasn't named until three years later when Nijssen and Isbrücker gave it the name corydoras panda. The name was given in honor of the giant panda of China, which has a white body with black markings around the eyes and extremities, which this lovely cory also has.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eThe Panda cory comes from a location known for its blackwater characteristics. Due to a lack of minerals, the water is acidic and fairly soft. Furthermore, the water temperature in these locations is slightly colder than in other tropical areas, averaging in the mid to low 70s. When the aquarium hobby was first established, species were wild-caught, making them quite expensive to purchase. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eCaptive breeding methods eventually cut the price significantly, and as a result, the species has become not only reasonably priced but also extremely popular.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan data-preserver-spaces=\"true\"\u003eII.
