Brackish Water

i'm thinking about getting albino corys but don't know how well they'll do in the brackish water my mollies like... would they be ok?

Cories will certainly not appreciate brackish water I'm afraid.

ok, thanks

i second that, cories are true freshwater, no brackish.
but well done for giving your mollies brackish, not many people do.

Cories are meant to be one of the least tolerant fish to salt.

my albinos get on fine with brackish water still are and are very healthy

Strange amount of cory deaths you've had for 'getting on fine' then.... Besides which, it doesn't appear the tank is brackish as such- most likely following the traditionally useless '1tbsp per gallon' rubbish...

brackish will without doubt kill corys
