Longfin Albino Corydoras
The Longfin Albino Corydoras is a captivating variant of the ever-popular Corydoras aeneus, selectively bred for its flowing, extended fins and striking pinkish-white body with red eyes. These peaceful bottom-dwellers are a staple of the community aquarium, endlessly busy sifting through the substrate in search of morsels — a charming and functional addition to any tank.
The longfin trait gives them an elegant, almost ethereal appearance as their fins billow gently in the current, making them a standout even in a well-stocked community setup.
