How Do You Tell The Difference?

[Spishkey]

between albinos and say for example aeneus(sp) albinos? im guessing they wont breed with each other?

the ones i bought were just labelled albino corys, so i dont know which type of albino they are?

90% of albino corys on the market are indeed aeneus, 9% would be
paleatus with the remaining 1% being any other species, which are normally stated and highly priced.

albino corys are not sterile so would breed with eachother and also normal colour variations. they will in some instances breed with different species
producing sterile offspring

standard albino corys are generally C. aeneus

C. paleatus and C. sterbai are the other two although sterbai are fairly easy to distinguish and will generally be 3-4 times more expensive. albino C.Paleatus are also noticeable different in size and shape when next to an albino c.aeneus
