Pygmy Cory Albino

Tank-raised albino pygmy cory are a rare find and very visible in the community fish tank, despite their diminutive size. Like most small fish, they are best kept in small schools of three or more to lower the stress.

Quick Facts

Care Guide

Tank setup: Give them a gentle, sponge-type filter, a heater, fine sand and plenty of plants. Corys are sensitive to salt and some medications (especially copper), so check labels before treating the tank.

Feeding: Feed tiny sinking pellets or crushed flake once or twice a day. Make sure the food reaches them before faster fish eat it all.

Tankmates: Keep them with other tiny, gentle fish such as small rasboras, ember tetras, shrimp and bettas. Anything big enough to swallow them will.

Good to know: Albino pygmy corys are easy to spot in a planted tank and, like regular pygmies, often school in midwater.
