Albino Cory On Black Substrate?

  • #1
I haven't decided on what color substrate I want...but I had an idea that a group of Albino Cory would look really striking against a black sand/gravel. I know that Albino Corys aren't the most imaginative fish to get, but are they fairly hardy? And would putting them on black substrate stress them out? - I've been told that some fish prefer either light/dark substrates?

I don’t think corydoras care about the color of substrate

I don't think it really matters. Though, I would go black to have the fish stand out.

Get sand or smooth gravel. Sharp gravel and decorations can hurt their barbells and get infected

Yes, I had read that. I'll be careful what substrate I pick out.

I like sand. It’s easier to clean and looks better imo

They do but this seriously is an interesting question.
Do albinos know they're white ? I doubt that hahaha. Think they'll have the brown color in their "head" as being natural.

Funny if you think about that hahaha.

Black substrate will be okay for sure.

Uhhhhhh am I white or am I brown?

Mine are on black sand and they look quite striking! I got some bronze cories, too, and can't usually locate them because they blend in
