These fish are incredibly calm and add a lot of visual interest to my 10-gallon planted tank. They swim in groups and seem to enjoy the substrate. The white coloration is striking and the red eyes stand out well. Easy to care for and very active without being aggressive.

I bought a group of four and they’ve been thriving for over three months. They don’t stress other fish and stay near the bottom. The color is soft and elegant. I’d recommend them to anyone with a small, peaceful aquarium.

The Albino Pygmy Corydoras are a beautiful addition to my nano setup. They’re active but not flashy, and they form a nice school. I’ve kept them with neon tetras and they coexist peacefully.
