Please check the delivery dates below before placing your order.

Overview:
The Long Fin Albino Corydoras is a striking and elegant variant of the popular Bronze Cory, with flowing fins, a creamy white to pale pink body, and bright red eyes. Like all Corydoras, it is peaceful, social, and constantly forages along the substrate, making it both a functional cleaner and an attractive community fish.

Origin:
The wild-type Corydoras aeneus is widespread across South America, found in slow-moving rivers and streams from Argentina to Colombia. The albino long-fin variety is a selectively bred aquarium strain.

Feeding:
Omnivorous bottom feeder. Thrives on sinking pellets, catfish wafers, and frozen or live foods such as bloodworms and brine shrimp. Will also scavenge leftover flakes but should be given dedicated bottom-feeder foods for balanced nutrition.

Tank Mates:
Completely peaceful and ideal for community aquariums with small to medium non-aggressive fish such as tetras, rasboras, livebearers, and dwarf cichlids. Keep in groups of 5 or more for natural schooling and confidence.

Water Parameters:

• Temperature: 72–78°F (22–26°C)

• pH: 6.0–8.0

• Soft to moderately hard water

• Minimum Tank Size: 20 gallons

• Prefers smooth sand or fine gravel to protect sensitive barbels

Behavior & Personality:

• Peaceful, active, and social bottom dweller

• Will occasionally dart to the surface to gulp air—a normal behavior for Corydoras

• Males are slimmer, females are rounder when mature

Special Notes:

• Long fins are more delicate—avoid housing with fin-nippers

• Hardy and beginner-friendly, but requires good water quality

• Will breed readily under the right conditions, often after a cool water change

The Long Fin Albino Corydoras combines the hardiness and peaceful temperament of the Bronze Cory with a striking albino color and elegant flowing fins, making it a standout addition to any peaceful freshwater aquarium.
