Albino Aeneus Cory Cat
The Albino Aeneus Cory Cat comes from the tributaries of the Amazon river and is a peaceful bottom dwelling scavenger. The Albino variety is mostly white to pink, and has multiple barbels around the mouth.
The Aeneus Cory Cat requires a well planted aquarium with plenty of hiding places that provide relief from the light. A smooth sand or gravel substrate is needed because of the easily damaged barbels. They enjoy being in numbers, so a small school of six or more is ideal for these cats.

My aquarium has been running smoothly with a group of six Albino Aeneus Cory Cats. They are very peaceful and stay near the bottom, cleaning up leftover food. The white and pink coloration is striking, and they seem to enjoy the plants and hiding spots. I’ve kept them for over six months and they’re active without causing any stress to other fish.

These fish are easy to care for and form a nice school. I noticed they become more active when the water temperature drops slightly. I added some smooth sand and planted the tank densely—this has helped them feel secure. They don’t jump or chase, which makes them perfect for a community tank.

The barbels are delicate, so I made sure to use sand and avoid sharp edges. The fish are clean and active, especially in the evening. I’ve kept them with other peaceful species and they coexist well. The coloration is unique and adds a nice touch to the tank.
