Can You Mix Different Different Corys To Form A School?

[fshinggrl]

Ok, is this a silly question from the noob? Can you mix different varieties of Corys to make a shoal? At least if they are similar in size?

Someone else would know more specifics, but as I understand it, some species (eg the bronze cory and the albino cory) are simply color morphs of each other and therefore can be mixed quite smoothly.

i have peppers, sterbai and another breed (forgot its name)

the sterbai and other one stick together, the three peppers stay together. It have been known for them all to stay in the same area.

I've got a mix of various cory's - bronze (all albino); sterbai (1 albino, 4 regular); delphax; peppered; skunk; panda; red stripe; trilineatus; hastatus... and they all hang out together, except the hastatus.
Not that I have a thing about cories

I can't see why not. They may or may not shoal together but i'm sure no harm will come of it.

Hybridize? Yeah,that's it....

I've not heard of cories hybridizing. I'm sure it must have happened at some point though.
But I've got at least 4 different groups that spawn and they have never tried to hybridize.
