Super White Panda Corydoras makes a first appearance in Japan

. Leave a comment

The super white panda cory is not an albino strain, but another color morph which is more similar to the “blue eye” bristlenose plecos. Although the blue eye L144 bristle nose is more yellow in body color voerall, the super white panda is distinguished by a stark white body coloration and a black iris. There are no markings visible and if it weren’t for that well rounded nose and body shape, we’d be hard pressed to slap a definite ID on this fish even withing the frequently bred species. The fish were sold from Aquashop before we had a chance to glance the price but since only a pair was offered and this is the first time we’ve ever seen them, it is possible that they sold for a hefty sum. Albino fish really are not our thing but the starkness of coloration on the super white panda is something we could learn to appreciate in a darkly lit, blackwater tank. This guy knows what I’m talkin about!
