Which Kinds Will Interbreed?

[ICEEGRL]

I have bronze, albino, peppered, and elegas so far. I know the bronze and albino will. Will any of these others?
Which kinds will breed with which kinds? I need to know for future reference so I will be able to avoid mixing by stupidity.
I can't find a list any where.
Thanks!

The 'Bronze' and 'Albino' are in fact the same species Corydoras aeneus.

If you have species groups of Corys together and there are both sexes in each of the species groups it is most unlikely that there will be any cross breeding.

It is only when people buy one of this, one of that, and one of another species that problems occur. Corydoras should be kept in groups of at least 5 of a species and like I already said if there are males and females in each species group all should be well.

I am workin on that. I am just now learning how to tell male from female. I have to get some more to get my numbers right any way so I will be sure to try to get the right sexes to keep them happy.
Thanks

coryman can you explain why our davidsandsi cory likes to do the sexy dance with all our other breeds? In fact, we seem to have a lot of sexy dancing going on between breeds but no actual breeding. Is this just corys being horny and playful or something else?

puppyduck,

Look at your list of Corys and then read my post again.

Basically you are not getting enough of each species.
