Oddball Albino cory

Post by the pleco guy »

Hello everyone,
I know that cories prefer to live in groups, but my cory always seemed a bit off and solitary. I put them in with some emerald greens, but he just does his own thing. Is it possible that their personalities affect whether they want to live alone or in groups? Any response is appreciated.

In nature, corydoras mostly live in groups of their own kind & this is how they are best kept. Some individuals will not readily shoal with other species.

It seems the other cories get fat and decide not to move again until they are hungry. The albino cory is a lot more active, even though he's alone.
