Does anyone know if albino cory cats will school with non-albinos of the same species?

Yes the bronze and albino Corydoras aeneus will happily hang together, mine do

Yes, Bronze & Albino Corydoras will school together.

Thanks! My local pet store said they didn't think they would... just wondering...

Not only will the school together, but they will also breed together.

most of the corys seem to school well together, with the exception i have in my current tank. i seem to have procured 2 groups of 3,lol. i have 3 juliis that school together, and a bronze and two smaller spotted corys.

now, even though they rarely all six school as a group, the juliis enjoy the company of the bronze and spotteds, and they all play together and peruse the bottom at feeding time.

most of the time though, the juliis are hanging out and picking at the artificial foliage in the middle of the tank or towards the top, while the spotteds and bronze spend their time schooling on the bottom perusing the gravel with their inquisitive barbles...

the main thing is not to mix sizes i was told, no salt and pepper or other pygmy corys, as they tend to be more timid and wont school with the regular size corys. thats just what i have been told. coloring doesnt seem to make a diferance, but the varieties behavior does

Yes as pugperson said they will breed together as well as socialize as well....i have seen the results of breeding, they are quite unique...i use to have one but sold it to my lfs for 20$ !!!!!!!....wish i kept the little fella....

20 GALLON LONG CURRENTLY EMPTY ~~~~ 10 GALLON W/ STRIPPED CONVICT

A cross between an albino cory and a normal one will just look like a normal Bronze Cory, because the colored gene is dominant.

I'm not your neighbor, you Bakersfield trash.

Today i went to our monthly fish keeping meeting & got 4 Free Albino Corydoras. They are quite small & will have a challange to raise them.

My question is, If You breed 2 Albino Corydoras, will all the fry be Albino?.

Yes, albino is all recessive genes. There is only one possible color genotype for that fish and so all offspring will have the same genes and be the same color.

The Genetics for albino work like this
Two albino have all albino babies.
One albino and one normal will result in all normal babies,
unless the normal is offspring from a normal albino cross, then you will get half albino and half normal babies.
----And I told my science teacher I wouldn't need this in real life.

20 Gallon Long:
Aquaclear 300
2 Bolivian Rams, Mikrogeophagus altispinosus: Gumby and Pokey
