Got mine young as well. However they seemed to be growing well for about 6 months before they perished. Other cories, barbs, tetras, cpds all doing well in the same tank past a year already.
Anyway, stopped keeping pandas for now. I'm into pygmy cories now and they seem much more hardier... the better part is that more can be kept in a smaller tank.
Never create what you can't control
The fish at around 2 cm is about 2 months old. Their average lifespan *seems* to be around 5 years, and living up to 10 years is not unheard of, 6 months is quite short lived.
Oh well, one thing for sure is that the temperature preferred should be between 22 to 25 degrees Celsius. If it gets too hot, like how our weather can get at certain times, it may be detrimental to the fish.
Anyway, that's the thing about fish-keeping, mileage may vary.

Oh, did I mention that I keep my pandas with discus and rummy nose. They must like the same conditions as discus because they're both doing well.
