Albino Corydoras are a striking variant of the Corydoras catfish, known for their pale, pinkish-white bodies and bright red eyes. They are peaceful bottom-dwellers that thrive in groups, making them perfect for community aquariums.
The Albino Cory has a pinkish-white body with a slight golden sheen under good lighting. Its most distinguishing feature is its bright red eyes, a result of albinism. They have the typical Corydoras shape—rounded snout, armored plates, and downward-facing mouth with sensitive barbels.
5–8 years with proper care
Omnivorous; thrives on sinking pellets, algae wafers, bloodworms, brine shrimp, and vegetable matter.
Albino Corydoras are hardy, peaceful, and social bottom dwellers that make an excellent addition to freshwater aquariums. They are highly recommended for beginners and experienced aquarists alike, thanks to their adaptability, active nature, and ease of breeding. Keeping them in groups enhances their behavior and overall well-being.

Schooling fish; should be kept in groups of 6 or more for best health and natural behavior.
Feed 1–2 times daily with sinking pellets or wafers. Supplement with frozen/live foods like daphnia, bloodworms, or brine shrimp. Occasional blanched vegetables (zucchini, cucumber, spinach) can be offered.
pH: 6.0–7.5, Temperature: 72–78°F (22–26°C), Hardness: 2–12 dGH, Ammonia/Nitrite: 0 ppm, Nitrate: <20 ppm
Barbel erosion (caused by sharp substrates or poor water quality), ich, fin rot, and stress-related diseases. Regular water changes and a fine sand substrate help prevent these issues.
Albino Cories are peaceful, social, and highly active schooling fish. They do best in groups of 6 or more, constantly exploring the bottom of the tank and sifting through the substrate. They are shy when kept alone and thrive in community setups with other non-aggressive species.
Albino Corydoras are a selectively bred variant of the Bronze Corydoras (Corydoras aeneus). Their bright, pale coloration and active schooling behavior make them stand out in freshwater aquariums. Like all Corydoras, they are hardy, adaptable, and excellent at keeping the substrate clean by foraging for uneaten food. They prefer fine sand substrates to prevent damage to their delicate barbels. These fish are especially popular with beginner aquarists due to their resilience, ease of care, and peaceful nature.
