The Albino Corydora is a variation of Bronze Corydoras. Like all cories, they require soft sand substrate to protect their delicate barbels and reasonably spacious aquarium furnished with plenty of wood, rocks and plants. They are a social species that should be maintained in a shoal of 6 or more specimens. This will help the fish feel secure and encourage them to come out into the open more often.
Ideal tank mates should be other smaller, peaceful species of fish. We recommend other South American species like Apistogrammas, Angelfish, Tetra and Plecos. Avoid larger cichlids and excessively boisterous species as they are likely to intimidate cories, causing them to hide more.
Food can be offered in the form of sinking wafers as well as fresh or frozen fish foods such as brine shrimp and daphnia.
