Re: Poorly Reticulated Cory

The chances of interbreeding are actually pretty small. Lineage are capable of breeding with their own lineage but again will always prefer their own type.

Re: Poorly fish

Hiya The Corydoras has a skin irritation that has gone fungal. Without knowing your water parameters it's hard to establish why however when the immune system weakens this way it's usually linked with a poor diet. As plankton says Cory are not bottom cleaners. If your pH is higher or water is harder...

Re: Switching Stock, worth the hassle or not?

There is also albino paleatus, sterbai, pygmeus and even cw10.

Aeneus are the most common but albino sterbai are easy enough to find if you ask in the right places.
