Most cories are treated the same and behave in a similar manor. Pandas are captive bred and have been for years so they are just as hardy as most other species. If your are acting weird there might be something wrong. Check the water quality for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate & PH. If there is any ammonia or nitrite do a water change. If the nitrates are above 40ppm do a water change. If the PH is below 6.0 or above 8.0 do a water change. If you don't have any test kits take a glass full of tank water to your local fish shop and have them check it for you. Some shops charge a small few but others don't. Get them to write the results down on paper.
Check the fish for any white or red patches, cloudy eyes, clamped fins (fins not sticking out), and see if they are eating properly.
