Relevant Information: |
This is a man made albino varirty
of Corydoras aeneus. If starting off with this species
buy at least half-a-dozen as with most Cory's they are happier
in their own company, and with the comparatively low price of
aeneus (apart from the new varieties) it would certainly not
break the bank, and you could end up of course with at least a
pair of these hardy Cory's. Aquarium Care:
Will do well in a community setup with smaller tank mates such
as Rasboras and Tetra's. Do not house with aggressive species
or large Cichlids. Reproduction: Breeding
is comparatively easy with cool water changes that lowers the
temperature, triggering them off. Feed a good balanced diet
making sure that they get their full quota of food if kept in
a community tank. Diet: A good quality flake
food provides all the essential vitamins that they need with extra
feedings of frozen bloodworm, white worm (sparingly) and tablet
food. |
