Albino Aeneus Cory
The albino cory is a color morph of Corydoras aeneus. Cory catfish are found in still or slow-moving clear waters in South America. All species are non-aggressive and can be housed with any species that is not large enough to eat them. Most corydoras are small, with the exception of a few that can reach 4 inches in adulthood. They come in a wide variety of patterns and spend their time schooling on the bottom of the tank, using their barbels to search for food in the gravel or sand.

My albino cory has been in the tank for three months and is very active. It swims near the bottom and uses its barbels to find food. The fish is calm and doesn’t bother other tank mates. Easy to care for and looks beautiful in the tank.

I bought this cory for my beginner aquarium. It’s peaceful and stays near the gravel where it searches for food. The color is striking and it’s a great addition to a community tank.

The fish arrived healthy and seems to be adjusting well. It’s active during the day and stays in groups with others of its kind. Very easy to maintain and a great choice for new aquarists.
