About 6 months ago I added four albino Corydoras aeneus (albino version of bronze cory) to an established community tank with other corys, neon tetras, etc.

Two of the corys have died, and the two others have failed to grow much, if at all. Also, I think the fish have poor eyesight, the way they are always swimming into thing. Albino turtles
and even albino humans usually have very poor eyesight.

All of the other fish are doing great, and the two surviving albino corys continue to eat well and spend their time non stop fluttering around. Has anyone else had problem with the albino verion of Corydoras aeneus?

My albino cory actually has no eyes. He generally swims around at full speed til he hits something, but otherwise is happy and fine. He is genrally the first one to the food, as most catfish use their sense of smell and feel to find food. As long as yours keep eating they should be fine.
