The Albino Corydoras are peaceful and active in a community tank. They blend well with other fish and don’t stress the group. Easy to care for and maintain good water quality. A nice addition to a South American fish setup.

These fish are very hardy and adapt well to my tank conditions. I noticed the females are slightly larger and wider than males, which is clear when viewing from above. They don’t need special lighting and thrive in moderate temperatures.

I’ve had these for three months and they’re still active and healthy. The water parameters are stable, and they coexist well with my other community fish. The coloration is clean and the behavior is calm and natural.
