Care and feeding: Since they are omnivores, the Albino Cory will generally eat all kinds of live, fresh, and flake foods. To keep a good balance give them a high quality sinking pellet or flake food everyday. Feed brine shrimp (either live or frozen) or blood worms as a treat.
Distribution: The Paleatus Cory are found in the La Plata river in southeast Brazil.
Size - Weight: The Albino Cory get up to 2.5 inches (7 cm).
Acceptable Water Conditions: Hardness: 2-25° dGH Ph: 6.0 to 8.0 Temperature: 72-79° F (22-26° C)
Breeding/Reproduction: The Corydorus have a very interesting breeding routine. After bumping the male on the vent, the female will receive the males sperm into her mouth. She then discharges a few eggs which she catches and clasps with her ventral fins. Then the female will swim around and deposit a bit of sperm and just a few eggs at a time in select spots, such as a strong plant, the heater tube or ever the aquarium glass. When she has runs out of sperm, she will go back to the male and repeat the process until the spawn is complete. See the description of how to breed these fish in Breeding Freshwater Fish
