From my experience (although I have not tried these two specifically) they will. I have about 6? (panda, jullii, delphax, agasomethings, pygmy's, and one other) and they cohabitat wonderfully.

I've read that they do. They are definitely not hostile and shouldn't eat each other's eggs.

I've also read that different corys shoal together, too. Is this true?

I have 2 albino and 2 peppered in one of my tanks and they seem to get along together fine.

In a long tank upstair I have 4x Bronze, 4x Albino and 4x False bandits and they all hang around together at times durning the day.

well i just bought 3 more pepper corry cats from my lfs(they didnt have albono's) and they seem to be seperated by day, but at night the group together. when the barbs are at the surface sleeping, and the shark is in her cave sleeping, they come out and feed off of the bottom

Hi Chribela

I've never heard of an instance when different corys could not get along. While they may choose to spend much of their time with their own kind, they are nevertheless friendly and sociable with all the others.

I have two different corys in my tank that were the last ones left at my lfs an they are happy to be with the other corys even if they have no relatives there.
