at first i just brought them as a clean up crew for what ever my exodons doesnt eat, but now i really like them (hehe i think alittle more then the exodons) i dont know much about them tho, do they only eat at night? how but do they get and can i feed them cucumbers? my 2 seems to be in search for food 24/7

they seem to love hanging around the pants, lol i have one exodon at the time and plan to get more next week cause thats when the shipment comes. but as of now one of my corys keeps following the exodon haha and the exodon always trys to run away from it

What's there full grown size? I used to have some in my old cichlid tank. I had some white ones, not sure the breed. I remember they were small little fellas that just moved around looking for food non-stop.

Depends on species, some are barely more than an inch, others about 3", most are inbtween those sizes.

They must be albino Corydoras aeneus, correct? 2 inches is the max size.

cory cats are probably my favorite species of small fish. i also like them because they are cats. i was going to get emerald corys, but they are harder to breed than other cory cats, so im just going to get bronze ones.

also, im pretty sure cory cats eat algae tablets. i asked at a petstore and they said that you can give them algae tablets or other small sinking food

Cory Cats are so cool! I used to have them, but with my current stock, it probably won't work. Anyway, Cories aren't algae eaters so the guy either doesn't know what he's talking about or he was trying to feed you a load. I love how they will use their whiskers to feel around the gravel or sand and just suck up whatever they find.

didnt know what they where still new to the hobby

Wait, since when were cories new to the scene? I used to keep these guys like 15 years ago. I bought them from a crappy small-town LFS for CHEAP. (I didn't know any better, I was like 7).
