Green or Pink GloFish Corydora
The Spectrum people came out with yet another member of their GloFish family, the GloFish Corydora. Genes spliced from the parent Albino Aeneus Cory, these glow vibrantly under UV light. Without the special lighting, they are still bright, but it's the special light that makes the GloFish so special, and strange. We have pink, green and orange.

Care Guide
Tank setup: Give them a heater, a gentle filter and a soft sand or smooth, fine gravel bottom. Plants, driftwood and a few shady spots help them feel secure. Corys are sensitive to salt and some medications (especially copper), so check labels before treating the tank.
Feeding: Corys need their own food, not just leftovers. Feed sinking pellets or wafers once or twice a day so food reaches the bottom. They also enjoy frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp.
Tankmates: Corys get along with almost any peaceful community fish, such as tetras, rasboras, livebearers, gouramis, angelfish and bettas. Avoid large fish that could swallow them and aggressive bottom dwellers.
Good to know: GloFish colors look brightest under a blue or actinic LED light. Care is the same as for any albino cory.
