If an albino and an orange stripe spawned would it be considered a hybred?

They spawned in my tank. I was originally planning on putting the orange ones in their own 10 gallon but the male died.

Also I had asked on this site if they (The orange striped cory's) scattered their eggs or placed them on glass. No one had a real answer. For anyone that wants to know they are both. I found eggs on the glass all over the tank and a few in the plants.

I won't :) I'm not really into cory's except for the striped aneus. But i guess why i asked is to make an albino strain i know that they have to originally come from a bronze cory (or something like it). So it didn't make sense to me why it would be. In that train of thought ( at least in my brain :lol: ) all albino's are hyrbreds.

Oh well im not a scientist.. i'll leave it for you smart people lol

Do you have a picture of your Orange striped Cory, it may very well be a true C. aeneus, then the offspring would not be hybrids.

It does look like the C. aeneus sp known as C. aeneus schultzi. Some of the so called aeneus colour variants I believe are not related to C. aeneus.

albino do not have any pigments. They are recessive which means that both parent must have the abino trait for the child to show the trait.



albino X albino all children albino

albino X normal all children appear normal colored but carry the gene to be albino

normal X (albino-normal cross) all children appear normal but half carry the gene to albino

(albino-normal) X (albino-normal) one fourth wil be normal
one half (albino-normal) cross but appear normal
one fourth will be albino

This is the old mendell rules.
If you use an albino as one of the parents all the children will look like the normal color parent.

I looked at the picture and can't tell in it is different from regular aeneus. The normal aenus has a tan(orange) stripe there.

it is an orange/red strip.......they are hard to find. I have seen the regular ones and these look nothing like them. Much prettier. I have been loking for the orange striped ones online and in my lfs and have found nothing. They all tell me we only get them in once every six months.

I believe this is a colour variant of C. aeneus, the so called orange stripe has a different body shape and fin colour.

Hybrid ???

Post by Alan_au »

In which case it is not a hybrid, just a cross between colour variants, the offspring most likely fertile, and you have rescued your "orange stripe" stain
