They're also very active, mine make full use of the 30 gallon long I have them in. Not fish I'd reccomend for a 2 foot tank . ^_^ [hr width='40%'] "The rain is falling down like silence in a shroud"

In fact, albino cories can even exceed three inches! We have a couple at work that are at least three, maybe three and a quarter inches.
