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. Lineage:
Placed in Lineage 7 alongside other members of the
so called "aeneus group" with the designated
type species: C. eques. A revision in the
future would constitute the resurrection of the genus
name Osteogaster.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.
