✅ Description:

The Panda Garra is a unique and attractive bottom-dweller with bold black and yellow banding, resembling a panda – hence its name. Native to fast-moving streams in Myanmar, this algae-eating fish is both practical and full of personality. It enjoys clinging to rocks and glass with its modified sucker mouth and makes a lively addition to well-oxygenated, planted tanks with good flow.
