Albino Corydora

The Albino Corydora is a hardy, peaceful, and instantly recognisable bottom-dwelling catfish, loved for its pale body, pinkish hues, and bright red eyes. A colour variant of the Bronze Corydoras, this species is exceptionally resilient and one of the best choices for beginner aquarists.

Active and social, Albino Corydoras spend their days sifting through the substrate in search of food, adding movement and personality to community and planted aquariums alike.

Behaviour & Compatibility:
Albino Corydoras are highly social and should be kept in groups of six or more. They are peaceful and coexist well with most community fish, including tetras, rasboras, livebearers, and dwarf cichlids. Generally safe with adult shrimp, though very small shrimp may be eaten.

Care Requirements:

• Temperature: 22–26°C

• pH: 6.0–7.5

• GH: 3–15

• KH: 0–8

• Diet: Omnivorous – sinking pellets, wafers, frozen foods, and live foods

• Tank Size: Minimum 60L

Breeding:
Albino Corydoras are among the easiest Corydoras to breed in home aquariums. Spawning is often triggered by cooler water changes, with eggs laid on glass, plants, or hardscape. Fry can be raised on powdered fry foods and baby brine shrimp.

Why We Love Them:
Tough, dependable, and full of charm, Albino Corydoras are perfect for new aquarists and seasoned keepers alike. Their constant activity and friendly nature make them a true community classic.
