New cory keeper here! Can you mix different cories?

I have always kept my cories separate over the years and had always wondered if they would inter-breed? I have c. sterbai and c. ehrhartdi but will be buying more types and was wondering what I can mix? Especially ones that look similar. I have seen some websites out there that have more than one type of cory in their tanks.

Mixing them is not a problem unless they do interbreed as you pointed out, if they do just leave the eggs in place and let the other fish have a caviar dinner.

There should be little chance of cross breeding with most Cory's. I have 4 stock tanks each holding about 10 or 12 species (50 + fish).
I have in thirty years never had any Cory's cross breedeng.
