How can you tell albino palateas (peppered) and albino aeneas cories apart by just looking at them?

There really isn't a way to tell them apart as they are physically similar. Since aeneus is the much more common of the two, I'd assume you have aeneus.

I should add, you may be able to tell them apart when they reach full size (2.5"-3")...the paleatus will have a longer slimmer body and the aeneus will be broader and thick-bodied in comparison.

Hi,

Yeah, I agree.

Like Webcricket said, most likely its a albino Bronze Cory because they are much more common.

Look for the pattern. Seriously. Albino C. paleatus have the same pattern as normals, but in two shades of white.
