New species (to me) bred...

Post by MatsP »

I had eggs this morning in a tank that holds C. similis and C. weitzmani - I'm not sure which it was that laid the eggs (probably C. similis...)

Hopefully they hatch and I can see what they are in some weeks from now...

Aren't you worried about cross breeding keeping them together?

Not particularly, no. They are both in reasonable sized groups, and MOST corys do not cross breed anyways. Certainly the C. similis don't seem to have crossed with the C. sterbai that they were previously kept with - and at least if we go by pattern, they would be more closely related (although I have no idea if they REALLY are).
