The wonderful world of Corys

[Kryten]

Couple of questions about Corys if I may

Are Albino Corys easy to keep, and how many minimum to keep (I have an 85 liter tank). I currently have 10 Neon Tetras and a Siamese fighting fish

How hardy are Pygmy Corys? Again, how many minimum?

Thanks

Three is generally the minimum, but as always, the more the better. I keep three Albinos & they enjoy scurrying around together, even like scattering my five Kuhlis for laughs at times. Of course, the Kuhlis are infinitely too fast for them so no harms ever done, & Ive yet to see them do anything malicious or chase with any real intent. Theyre just having fun, methinks.

85L isn't especially big though, be careful not to overstock.

Corys can be sensitive to poor water conditions. Make sure you do frequent paritial water changes to keep your water in good condition for them. Corys are a schooling fish so the more the better. They enjoy each others company.
