Albino Pygmy Corydoras - Nano Cory Catfish Peaceful Schooling Fish Albino Variant
The Albino Pygmy Corydoras is a rare and charming nano catfish prized for its creamy white coloration, pink eyes, and constant activity. This albino variant of the pygmy cory combines the classic Corydoras personality with a unique, eye-catching appearance that stands out beautifully against dark substrates and planted aquariums.
Unlike larger Cory species, Albino Pygmy Corydoras are highly active swimmers and often occupy the lower and mid-water levels, especially when kept in groups. Peaceful and social by nature, they thrive in schools and are ideal for nano tanks, planted aquariums, and calm community setups.
Hardy, beginner-friendly, and endlessly entertaining, Albino Pygmy Corydoras are an excellent choice for aquarists who want a small bottom dweller with big personality.
