The Albino Cory Catfish or Corydoras Aeneus 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 Albino Cory Catfish 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. As the schooling fish, they enjoy being in numbers, so a small school of six or more is ideal for these Corydoras catfish.
Breeding the Albino Cory Catfish is relatively easy if kept in a large enough school to allow the catfish to pair off. The water must be slightly acidic and within the ideal temperature range. The sudden decrease in temperature has been shown to spark the Albino Corydoras to spawn. This can be induced by a 20% water change with the added water being a few degrees cooler than the aquarium water. Remove all fry after they have become waterborne and feed with baby brine shrimp.
The Albino Cory Catfish is omnivorous and requires a well-balanced diet that includes dried, flake, frozen, and live foods. Feed quality flake, pellet food, frozen brine, and live worms.
