What i would like to know, is do ALbino Bronze Corys () and ordinary Bronze Corys () School together.
Could i do something like 1 Bronze Cory, and 3 Albino Bronze Cory
(all Corydoras Aenus) in the same tank???

You could, as they are the same species and share the same body shape. The catfish would shoal together at least some of the time. However, they would be better off if you stuck to just one color. That way there isn't a lone cory which realizes that it doesn't quite fit in.



And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

I thought they might, but i wouldn't want the third Cory to be all alone. I just thought that because they were the same species...
But you're right, you wouldn't want a single lonely Cory

They will be fine together but i would stick with 1 species & same colours & patters, so i would go with 4 Albino or 4 Bronze Corydoras.

Hi there,
I have 9 Corydoras Aeneus, 6 bronze and 3 albino.
And they all school together. Sometimes they break
up into groups of 3, and not always is it the three white(pink?) ones all alone either.
Often 1 white(pink?) male travels with 2 bronze females and
2 white(pink?) females travel with 2 large male bronzes.
They are great, one of my favorite corys.
1 looks different though - it has a different fin from the other bronzes, a slightly longer snout, and a different
whisker configuration. It also has a slightly different coloration - more golden. I suspect it is a different species/subspecies, but it still schools with them.

Okay. Thankyou. I decided to get 5 Albino, so they could be like the Pink Ladys in the film Grease

Bronze cories are great at being inclusive towards other cories, I have a small shoal who adopted a different species, but im not sure how one would do in a group of a different species.

They are the same species.

The albino animals don't realize they're any different from the normal ones, so they will school together as if they were all the same color.
