This albino variant is one of the most popular fish in the aquarium hobby!
The Albino Aeneus Cory Catfish (Corydoras aeneus) is a variant of the classic Bronze Cory that is native to several countries in South America. It is one of the most popular bottom-dwellers in the aquarium hobby and is a very animated, distinctively marked schooling fish that is perfect for the nano, community, and planted aquarium.
The Albino Aeneus Cory Catfish is a very peaceful schooling fish that is compatible with most nano aquarium animals, including dwarf cichlids and angelfish. It might prey on small dwarf shrimp, but is safe with larger shrimp and most other peaceful ornamental invertebrates. It is a classic scavenger and will inhabit and feed at the aquarium floor, which should be comprised of sand or smooth gravel. Very coarse substrate can damage its delicate barbels and underbelly, so it should be kept in an aquarium with sand or very smooth gravel substrate. This fish is otherwise undemanding as it will accept most dry ,frozen, and live foods. It is adaptable to most tropical freshwater conditions as long as standard regular maintenance is performed and sudden changes are avoided.
