Just A Breeding Question

[wer34]

will albino and bronze cories breed with eachother. correct me if im wrong but they are the same species so can it work?

 

[Teelie]

Most of the time albino cories are aeneus cories, aka Bronze cories, so yes they can interbreed together safely, being the same species.

You must be certain though, as there are three main strains of albino:

- bronze
- peppered
- Sterbai

 

[wer34]

well the thing is that i asked for 3 albino and got 2 very light bronze cories and one true albino so im guessing they are the same species, they were all from the same tank too.

 

[§tudz]

from the same tank means nothing

can you get pics, as we will be able to tell from their shape.

Just to eliminate one species Sterbai have ornage on their pectoral fins, even the albinos, so if your dont have them, then they arent albino, that leaves you with bronze and peppered.

 

[Teelie]

It should be obvious if they were Peppered as they have a bigger "nose" on them.

yeah they aren't as tall either or bulky
