Default Re: Cory breeding

Green and bronze are often used to describe the same fish. If they are both Aeneus, they can and will interbreed. My guess is that if the colors on the 2 fish are different, the green one is probably a Brochis Splendens. Exporters mislabel this fish, in order to sell more of them. They often sell as Emerald green cories...or Emerald green hi-fin cories. Brochis look/act/ and breed just like cories...but are a seperate species. The main difference is the armor plating on the scales...and the shape of the nose. Wish I had pics to show you. You can view some pics at: http://www.planetcatfish.com I currently have both types of fish, but my camera is broke
