newbie cory questions...

Post by kelpie »

Hi,

Can you keep multiple species together or will they hybridize? Are some species OK to keep together and some not?

How old or large do they need to be before they can breed?

Thanx :)

If you keep a collection of Cory species together it is best that they are in groups, so there are males and females of each species present, this will minimise the chances of cross breeding. Most species will mate with their own kind.
