Panda Garra (Garra flavatra) is a unique tropical fish that can be added to a wide variety of aquariums. This fish is unique in its variation of light and dark colored bands similar to a panda. This fish can be housed with a wide variety of tank mates especially nano and non-aggressive species. Their tank should have high flow or highly oxygenated water, ideally with a matten filter or power-head in the tank to replicate its natural environment.
This fish is a peaceful omnivorous species of sucker-mouth cat that mostly feeds on bio-film, however, it can be fed a high quality frozen food such as baby brine shrimp and will readily accept it. This fish will max out around 3 inches in size.
We feed our panda garra with algae based foods such as Northfin kelp wafers, and bio-film additive Bacter A.E.. We also feed frozen baby brine shrimp to enhance their diet. Avoid adding too many tannins in the water as it can hinder the growth of bio-films and algae beneficial to this fish.

I recently added 3 more G. flavatra (Panda garras) to a pair in a 55 gallon planted tank. These little algae eaters are crazy active eating algae and tank film and have a TON of character.
I am looking to add to my tank and the nano tanks maintained by my grandson and boss. Hoping they are available in the Flip auction coming up!
Adorable bunch ❤️❤️❤️
Fast and safe delivery. All were healthy on arrival. I'm honestly glad I found flip aquatics.
We got 3 for 3 different tanks and they are all so happy and social. They always come up to the front of the tank! My new favorite fish.
Love, the three Panda Garra. They are busy, busy, busy. Always ‘Out and About’, not shy at all. Cute little buggers who came through in stellar shape.
