The Albino Aeneus Cory Cat or Corydoras aeneus is a whitish pink Catfish that originates in the Amazon River area. This fish has been breed in the Untied States and has become a quite popular freshwater aquarium fish. The Albino Aeneus Cory Catfish has reddish eyes and plenty of barbels around its mouth. This fish should be kept in water temperatures of 72-79° F and a PH level of 5.8-7.0, although when breeding a sudden decrease in water temperature can help the process. Best kept in groups, these fish enjoy the company of their own kind. You should also provide plenty of plant life to give the fish hiding spots. These bottom feeders will scrounge off the scraps of others, but they can be fed flakes, frozen and live food. This particular catfish only grows to about 3" in maximum length, so a large aquarium is not a necessity with this fish. One thing to note is to make sure the bottom of your tank is relatively smooth with sand or gravel substrate, if not the Albino Aeneus Cory Catfish's barbels may get damaged.
