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.
