Albino Pygmy Corydoras For Sale (Albino Corydoras pygmaeus)
The Albino Pygmy Corydoras is a rare and adorable nano catfish that combines the playful personality of the classic Pygmy Cory with a beautiful albino coloration featuring soft pink hues, bright red eyes, and a shimmering white body.

Our Albino Pygmy Corydoras are healthy, tank-raised whenever available, and carefully acclimated before shipping to ensure they arrive in excellent condition.

Care Guide
Albino Pygmy Corydoras thrive when kept in groups of 8 or more. Their schooling behavior becomes much more noticeable as they swim together through the middle of the aquarium and explore the substrate in search of food.
A soft sand substrate is recommended to protect their delicate barbels. Live plants, driftwood, floating plants, and gentle water flow help create a natural environment where they feel secure.
Stable water conditions and regular maintenance are essential for long-term health.
Compatible Tank Mates
Albino Pygmy Corydoras are ideal companions for other peaceful nano fish, including:
- Chili Rasboras
- Ember Tetras
- Green Neon Tetras
- Celestial Pearl Danios (Galaxy Rasboras)
- Otocinclus Catfish
- Small Gouramis
- Shrimp and snails
- Other peaceful Corydoras
Avoid aggressive fish or large cichlids that may outcompete or intimidate them.
Feeding
Feed a varied diet of quality sinking nano pellets, crushed flakes, frozen baby brine shrimp, microworms, daphnia, and other small live or frozen foods. Although they help clean up leftover food, they should receive dedicated daily feedings to maintain optimal health and coloration.
What You'll Receive
Each Albino Pygmy Corydoras is hand-selected for health and quality. Color intensity and markings may vary slightly, making every fish unique.

How to Acclimate Your Fish
Allow the sealed bag to float in your aquarium for approximately 15–20 minutes to equalize the temperature. Open the bag and gradually add small amounts of aquarium water over the next 15–20 minutes. Gently transfer the fish into the aquarium.
Important: Do not pour shipping water into your aquarium. Turn off aquarium lights and allow your new fish time to adjust to its new environment.

what people are saying...
“We just received our healthy, marbled Half Moon Betta from Coast Gem USA. Excellent communication from start to finish and the quality is amazing. They are consummate professionals who I highly recommend.”
“100% the best online store I’ve ever bought from. Excellent customer service, and reply really fast. My betta and panda corys arrived perfectly fine. They replied within about 20 minutes and refunded me.”
“I ordered a Betta back in March and he shipped out fast and arrived 2 days later healthy, gorgeous and definitely the fish I ordered. I made another order for a male Betta this week, same thing.”
“I ordered an Oranda from Coast Gem USA and the whole experience was honestly perfect. The fish showed up looking great—healthy, clean, and exactly what I was hoping for. You can tell they really took their time with the packing.”
“Great place for a vast assortment of freshwater fish. I’ve bought in-person and online, both have been great experiences with my purchases. Thank you Coast Gem, you guys are awesome!”
“This place is amazing! They have a bit of everything and they have knowledgeable staff to help you with fresh water fish expertise. Caesar was very kind and professional with getting our new cichlid peacock.”
“My giant betta showed up healthy with beautiful color. Took a few weeks. I knew from the start after reading reviews that it’s a slow process and this fish having to be imported would take a little longer but well worth the wait.”
“How this place only has 3 stars is beyond me. I did have to catch my own fish. However, the quality of fish that I got (African cichlids) was amazing!!! I paid much less than had I have purchased them somewhere else.”
“I originally had a pretty good experience ordering online from them. I ordered 5 betta and they took a little longer than expected to get to me but the quality was exceptional. I was so impressed that on a trip down to San Diego I checked them out.”
“I ordered 5 orandas. At first they were a little stressed, which is normal due to the trip since I live in Florida. After I quarantined them, they settled in beautifully and I was very happy with them.”
