Adopting some albino cory's
0
Last year I got one of my young neighbors (age 11) involved in fish keeping and she successfully managed to get some albino cory fry now swimming in her tank. Apparently her endlers/guppies/gouramis don't eat all the eggs.
It's amazing to see how well she has done with this tank over the past 7 months, so I will be adopting 6 of her little albino's this weekend. They are just about half an inch long at this point and very active. They are a little over a month old and will be a welcome addition to my tank. While my bronze cory's are considerably bigger, hopefully they will all get along and maybe even swim together.

Congrats. No problem. The albino's are 99,9% sure the same species as your bronze (C.Aeneus).

They are a little funky.
She has been doing really good. Shortly after I got started, they saw me bring in my 50 gal tank and asked about fish keeping. Their girl had been wanting to get started but they didn't know anything about it, so I shared what I had learned (good and bad). I gave her my cycled 10 gal, and female guppies to get her started. When I upgraded to a better 50 gal, she got my other one. I gave her a couple of male endlers and some ghost shrimp with the bigger tank. Since then, she has added gouramis and cory's.
She changes her own water once per week and keeps a record of her tank and births on her phone. Her parents have told me that she is getting a camera for her birthday, so I'll be helping her with learning how to take pics of her fish.
