Albino cory catfish size

I have two albino cory catfish that I got at the same time. I don’t know if it’s because of gender or because it’s not getting enough nutrients but one cory is much smaller than the other. It’s like it hasn’t grown at all whereas the other one has gotten huge. I don’t know if the larger one is depriving the smaller one of food resulting in its size or what. I feed them plenty of food for everybody to go around so I don’t know the problem. Is it just because of the gender or because it’s being harassed? Thanks for the help!

Answer #1

Gender or genetics, most likely. IF you’re worried about starvation, get these “shrimp pellets” or “algea pellets”, crush them into smaller but not tiny pieces, and even distribute them around the tank. They should sink pretty fast. Several sticks of the shrimp pellets(small ones) and an algae pellet or two should be more than enough.
