I have put these together for the simple reason that they are the same fish but slightly different varieties.  The Albino Cory has been developed through breeding from the Bronze Cory .  Their pink and white coloration adds interest to the aquarium.

Whichever you decide on it is best to stick with one variety.  They are a shoaling fish and ideally need to be kept in shoals of six or more if you want to see them at their best. They are a very active fish that mixes well in a community tank.

The Albino Cory can be sensitive to strong light and need to be kept in a well planted tank with plenty of hiding places.  T

They are bottom feeders and will help to keep the tank clean by scavenging all uneaten food from the bottom of the tank.

 They are best kept with a sand or fine gravel substrate as they can be prone to barbel damage from coarse gravel.  They can survive in a low oxygen environment because of their habit of taking gulps of air from the surface. 

They will eat most food but do best with a sinking pellet specifically for bottom feeders and catfish.
