would albino corys act as dithers for other corys?
Just asking cos I sold my 2 albino cories, there were with 4 false julli corys, they used to come out all hours now they shoal tightly as if they were stuck together,
And when No one was in the room, they came out when some one come in the room They dash to the hollow plastic log and hide inside till no one there then come out, I'm thinking about buying More albino cories!
Should I?

corys are very social, when in a group smaller than 6-7 they feel insecure and are very skiddish. it wasnt because you had albinos, it was cause you had numbers.

Get more Corydoras & you'll see a difference. The more Corydoras you have, the merrier they'll be.

Yep, the main thing here is the amount of Corydoras that are in the tank. These fish really should be kept in as large a group as possible, and be allowed to fraternize with their own species. With that being so, it would be a great idea to buy more false julii cories for the other ones you have. It should help your existing fish to calm down a bit and be less skittish.
