Will adolfois hybridize with aeneus cories?

[mduros]

Hi folks,
I believe this is my first post here though I am not sure. I am an avid fish lover and fish keeper and am very active on a couple of outstanding fishkeeping sites. Here's my question. With great pain I have to downsize my tanks. I am eliminating one 55 gallon and several small ones. I currently have 8 aeneus cories in the tank I am keeping and was thinking of rehoming the little guys because I am definitely keeping my adolfois. I finally managed to get some after patiently waiting for years... So I have 6 of them in the 55 gallon that's coming down. My only concern about keeping the aeneus cories and the adolfoi together is whether there would be a chance of creating hybrid spawn which I don't want to do. If anyone has any experience or information about this I'd appreciate hearing what you have to say.

Thanks! And one of my adolfois thanks you too! And no more torn fin, this was taken right after he came to me...

Take care,
Mary.

I don't think you'll have any problems. These species aren't that close.

Thanks! That's what I thought. The only reason I was concerned is that my research on the Adolfoi indicated that their spawning habits were very similar to aeneus. However, I do know that adolfoi eggs need special water conditions to produce viable fry.
Take care,
Mary.

This site has photos of some known hybridising corydoras, if you can get past the Japanese (: There is an english menu:
