The Longfin Albino Corydoras Aeneus is a variant of the Corydoras Aeneus, which is a species of freshwater catfish in the family Callichidae. The "Longfin" part refers to the elongated fins compared to the standard variety, and the "Albino" refers to its pale, almost translucent coloration.

Key Features:

1. Appearance:

   • Albino: This version of the Corydoras Aeneus has a pale, cream or white body with a pinkish or red hue to its eyes.

   • Longfin: The fins of these fish are longer and more flowing compared to the typical Corydoras Aeneus, giving them a unique and graceful appearance.

2. Size: They generally grow to about 2.5 to 3 inches (6-8 cm) in length.

3. Temperament:

   • Corydoras are peaceful, bottom-dwelling fish. They make excellent tank mates for peaceful community aquariums.

   • They tend to live in groups, so it's recommended to keep at least 4-6 of them together to maintain their social structure.

4. Tank Requirements:

   • Water Parameters: Corydoras prefer slightly acidic to neutral water (pH 6.0-7.5), with temperatures between 72°F and 78°F (22-26°C).

   • Substrate: They have sensitive barbels (whiskers) on their faces, so a soft, smooth substrate is essential to prevent injury.

   • Tankmates: They are non-aggressive and can live with a variety of peaceful fish like tetras, guppies, and rasboras.

5. Diet:

   • Corydoras are omnivores and will feed on sinking pellets, algae wafers, and live or frozen foods like bloodworms and brine shrimp. They also scavenge leftover food from the bottom of the tank.

6. Lifespan: With proper care, they can live up to 5 years or more.

The Longfin Albino Corydoras Aeneus is a beautiful and peaceful fish that makes a great addition to a community tank. Their unique appearance and behavior, combined with their easygoing nature, make them a popular choice for freshwater aquarium hobbyists.
