Albino Corydora - Corydoras sp. (Albino)

Albino Corydoras are a charming and peaceful freshwater catfish known for their creamy white to pale pink bodies and striking red or pink eyes. Like other Corydoras, they are active bottom-dwellers that spend their time scavenging the substrate for leftover food and biofilm, adding both activity and cleanup benefits to the aquarium.

This species is easy to keep, making it ideal for beginners and experienced aquarists alike. They are hardy, adaptable, and thrive in well-maintained community aquariums.

Care Requirements:

• Tank Size: 20 gallons minimum

• Temperature: 22–27 °C

• pH: 6.0–7.5

• Water Hardness: Soft to moderately hard

• Temperament: Peaceful, social

• Diet: Omnivore — sinking pellets, algae wafers, frozen foods, and occasional blanched vegetables

Behavior & Compatibility:

Albino Corydoras are social fish that should be kept in groups of 4–6 or more to feel secure and exhibit natural schooling behavior. They make excellent community tankmates with:

• Tetras

• Rasboras

• Gouramis

• Other small peaceful fish

• Shrimp and snails

Avoid aggressive species or large predatory fish that may intimidate them.

Tank Setup:

A well-planted aquarium with fine sand or smooth substrate is ideal to protect their delicate barbels. Include driftwood, rocks, and plants to provide hiding spots and shelter. Gentle filtration and stable water conditions are key to keeping them healthy and active.

A peaceful and visually striking bottom-dweller with soft albino coloration—perfect for planted community aquariums and nano setups.
