Products → your product → Description → click \u003c\u003e (HTML mode)\n     2. Paste everything below this comment block\n     3. Update Breeding Status value as status changes\n        Common values: \"Available Now\" | \"Growing Out - Join the Waitlist\"\n        | \"Waitlist Only\" | \"Not Currently Breeding\"\n        (set to a one-off value here - see note below)\n\n     NOTES:\n     - Described species: uses the Sewellia block layout (IUCN + FishBase),\n       same as the caudimaculatum listing - not the CW133 undescribed layout\n     - This is a color morph (leucistic line), not a separate species or an\n       undescribed fish. No CW\/L number, no CARES listing.\n     - IUCN: Near Threatened, Hidalgo del Aguila, Velasquez \u0026 Chocano 2016\n       assessment (e.T49830400A53818288). That status is for the wild-type\n       population - it doesn't describe this morph or this batch, both of\n       which are captive-line, several generations removed from any wild\n       fish. Said as much in the copy so it doesn't read as a conservation\n       claim it isn't.\n     - FishBase and PlanetCatfish both still index under the old Corydoras\n       slug in the URL; the pages themselves display Hoplisoma panda.\n       Links are correct as written.\n     - ScotCat factsheet EXISTS for this one (Factsheet 74) - unlike\n       caudimaculatum. ScotCat hasn't been updated for the 2024 genus\n       revision though; the page itself is titled \"Corydoras panda\"\n       throughout. Labeled the block to match what's actually on the page\n       rather than force Hoplisoma onto a source that doesn't use it -\n       flip it to Hoplisoma if you'd rather keep all four blocks uniform.\n     - Breeding Status below is set to \"Available Now - One-Off\" since\n       this isn't a line you're running forward. Swap back to a standard\n       value if that changes.\n     - No formal REFERENCES block this time - nothing in the copy needs a\n       footnoted citation beyond the IUCN assessment, which is already\n       linked in the Resources section.\n     ============================================================ --\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- 1.

The black eye-mask, dorsal blotch, and tail-spot that give the wild type its name have been selectively bred out, leaving a clean white to pale pink body - sometimes with a faint ghost of the pattern still visible, sometimes not. This is leucism, not albinism, so the eyes stay dark rather than going pink. Same size, same constant fidgeting through the substrate, same easy temperament. Tops out around two inches, females a touch larger than males.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: 'Jost',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; line-height: 1.8; color: #1e2d45; margin: 0 0 13px 0 !important;\"\u003eNijssen and Isbrücker described the wild type in 1971, from specimens pulled out of a cold mountain stream feeding the Río Ucayali in Peru. IUCN lists it Near Threatened, largely on trade-collection pressure - but that assessment covers the wild population, and it stopped having much bearing on the aquarium supply chain decades ago. Virtually every panda cory in the hobby, this morph included, is several generations removed from any wild fish, this line no exception. The genus got reshuffled in 2024 as well: Corydoras panda is now properly Hoplisoma panda, one of 87 species moved into the resurrected genus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family: 'Jost',sans-serif; font-size: 13.5px; line-height: 1.8; color: #1e2d45; margin: 0 !important;\"\u003eThis line didn't come out of this fishroom - it's acquired stock I'm clearing out, not something bred here.
