I got this albino corydoras with a gimpy fin around the same time Finding Nemo came out. I just realized today that he's probably pushing a decade. I noticed he is even a different color than the other AC's(paler) other than that and his fin I really wouldn't be able to tell him from the others. He's still just as as feisty and eats like a pig, fights with the albino bristlenose's for food all the time. I know some catfish are almost biologically immortal How long do corydoras live? Has anyone here had one longer than 10 years?
 
Your Cory probably the only one that put over a decade, most my cory ended up in some other fish belly after 2 years lol :rolleyes:

At the catfish convention one guy had pics of a 27 year old corydoras panda. If given optimal conditions they can live a long time.
