Bronze X Albino Cories

[shellyboylan]

i've got some bronze x albino babies and since they're neither one or the other, what are they classed as?thanks

They are Corydoras aeneus, unless they are Corydoras paleatus. Albinos are not a separate species. They are a variety of their species. Several species have albino varients--most notably: aeneaus (bronze), paleatus (peppers), and sterbai.

they're definitely aeneus, was just wondering if one parents bronze and one albino, are the babies described as a certain colour?

 

[shellyboylan]

they're really nice at moment, they have the darker bronze colouring on the mid body, with the albino shine all over. the bronze isn't as deep or widespread as normal bronzes either. they're about 12 weeks now i think so might change yet i'm hoping they keep their shimmer though

Any chance of pics? They sound pretty cool.

genetics would dictate that if you breed a regular and an albino of the same species, you will get a mix of albino and normal fry.
OR you could actually get all normal,

Our normal and albino bristlenoses give a mix of fry.

some are slightly darker than others but still have the light semi bronzing with the shimmer all over. will try get a pic later, cameras not too good though
