Albino Bronze Corys thrive in mature aquariums with excellent water quality, soft sandy substrate, and plenty of hiding places amongst plants, driftwood, and rocks. A smooth substrate is highly recommended to protect their delicate barbels while they forage.

🐠 Compatibility

Perfect for peaceful community aquariums. They mix exceptionally well with tetras, rasboras, guppies, mollies, platies, angelfish, gouramis, dwarf cichlids, shrimp, and other peaceful freshwater species. Avoid aggressive or very large fish that may intimidate or injure them.

Important Notes

Albino Bronze Corys are highly social fish and should always be kept in groups of at least six, where they will display their most natural and confident behaviours. Although they forage along the substrate, they should not be relied upon as "clean-up fish" and require regular feeding with quality sinking foods. Good water quality and a soft substrate are key to keeping them healthy and active.

The Albino Bronze Cory is a fantastic choice for UK aquarists looking for a hardy, peaceful, and entertaining bottom-dwelling catfish that brings constant activity, personality, and gentle charm to any freshwater community aquarium.
