mixed cory breeding tank

Post by danielryan »

just a quick one, can i keep mixed cory's in a tank, without the risk of crossbreeding?

corys in question would be bronze, and adolfoi. Also have some albino's which i would like to introduce if poss.

There would be no other fish in the tank.

Thanks

Albino are usually Bronze, so if they cross, you'll get brown ones that breed albino next generation.

Most corys do not cross-breed, but some may do. I don't think C. adolfoi breed with C. aeneus tho'. Especially not if there are sufficient members of each group (6 or more).
