Background info

Albino Corydoras catfish are calm,  bottom dwellers from the Amazon River in South America. They typically get up to 3” and have a life span of over five years. They love being in schools, so six or more is ideal for them. Smoother substrates aren’t required, but help as these Corydoras are prone to damaging their barbels. They love to be in water above 73 at the lowest, where 77 seems to the sweet spot for these fish to have an excellent active school.

Foods

These Aeneus Corydoras catfish are omnivores, so a varied diet is best. We like to vary their diet between frozen foods such as blood worms to dry foods like Vibra bites and algae sinking wafers. Just be sure since they are bottom feeders that they are eating enough as sometimes if you have more aggressive eaters, they might not be eating enough.

Tankmates

Suitable tankmates for the Albino cory cat, you have a few options: We like to have our tanks to have activity in all parts of the fish tank. For the middle of the tank, fish like a school tetra, like neons, are a great choice. They pair well with Swordtails and Danios too. They are a hardy community fish that goes well with a variety of species.

How many Cory Catfish can be kept together?

Six is ideal as it provides them the safety they need to keep them calm. Safety in numbers!

DOA Policy

While this is a rare occurrence, it can and will happen from time to time. Fish are live animals and we cannot ensure that every one will arrive alive or remain alive. We do ask that if your fish arrives dead (DOA), submit a picture of the deceased fish that is in the bag within 2 hours of the delivery time of your fish. We will work quickly with you to resolve the problem.

We will offer replacement fish for any losses, but do not offer refunds at this time. We can replace fish but  shipping costs is the responsibilityof the buyer. If you put the fish in your tank and it dies or is not acting properly, please contact us, with pictures,within 24 hours. We will again, do everything in our power to resolve the issue and ensure that you have a great experience with these fish.

This allows us to completely prepare the fish for shipping and ensure they are healthy prior to arrive at your door. All fish will be shipped with oxygenated water and specific additives in the water to ensure they maintain their health and stability during shipment. Depending on the species of fish and current weather conditions, the fish may arrive with a heat pack or ice pack to maintain the optimal temperature which further ensures the health and safety of your fish. All costs of shipping (postage, packaging,heat/ice packs, etc.) are included in the Shipping fee. We ship to only the continental United States. 

FAQ

"The fish I received do not look like the fish in thepicture. Why is this?"

-         We typically take photographs of one or two fish when we initially get them in. Since we have a large quantity of most of the various species of fish, it would be understandably impossible to provide a picture ofevery individual fish with a specific species. For some of our more rare orlarger fish, the picture listed may be the actual fish that you are receiving.If this is the case, it will be designated by ?WYSIWYG?, meaning ?what you see,is what you get?.

"What happens if my fish arrive dead?"

-         While this is a rare occurrence, it can and willhappen from time to time. Fish are live animals and we cannot ensure that everyone will arrive alive or remain alive. We do ask that if your fisharrives dead (DOA), submit a picture of the deceased fish that is in the bag.We will work quickly with you to resolve the problem. We will offer replacement fish for any losses, but do not offer refunds at this time. We will reship any replacement fish at the buyer's expense. If you put the fish in your tank and it dies or is not acting properly, please contact us,  with pictures, within 24 hours. We will again, do everything in our power to resolvethe issue and ensure that you have a great experience with these fish.

"What if I'm not home when the fish arrive?"

-         We will always provide you with a tracking number. While the fish are packaged to survive about 72+ hours within the shipping containers, we do ask that you make arrangements to arrive home to inspect your fish as soon as possible after they are delivered to your home. Itis always suggested to provide an area for the delivery person to place the boxthat is out of direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

"What do I do with my fish once I've unpacked them?"

-         Like you would with any new fish, let the entire bag float in your tank for 15-30 minutes. This allows the temperature withinthe bag to adjust to the same as your tank and will reduce temperature shock onthe fish. After this time, you can add all of the fish and water that is in thebag into your tank. The products used within the water for shipping will notharm any existing fish within your tank and actually makes the transition foryour new fish a bit easier. After this, expect your new fish to take a few daysto become fully adjusted, this includes hiding, floating at the top, sinking tothe bottom, and not eating. After a few days, your new fish should be acting aswimming like they normally would. At this point, enjoy your aquarium!

"I want to return my new fish because x,y,z?"

-         Unfortunately, we are unable to accept returns.We do recommend contacting us via email with yourorder number and as much information as possible. We will try to assist you inresolving whatever the issue may be.

False advertising!

Fish arrived (6) with two additional ones! I ordered 1" cories and got 1/2" fry that's why there two extra. When I order anything I expect to get what was ordered unless unavailable/out of stock, and then this should show in add.Or the contact info should be used and a call made offering alternatives. But to change an order is bad businee, and that is why ÇFF won't see any further business from me. For others, send what they order!
