Cross breeding (prevention help please)

[shayshay]

How does cross breeding work? If they are from the same lineage would that mean there is potential to cross breed? Or does that not matter and there is any potential ?

Trying to move some fish around but want to avoid hybrids if i merge some tanks

False juli lineage 9
Broadstriped cory - Corydoras (lineage 9) sp. (Cw021)
Skunk cory - lineage 9 granti
Gold Laser lineage 7 sp. (Cw010)
Bronze + albino aeneus - lineage 7

I am assuming bronze + laser will interbreed as correct me if im mistaken, lasers are a colour variant of aeneus ?

In general, corys in the same lineage are much more likely to cross breed and corys from different lineages are less likely to cross-breed.

If you want to have multiple cory species in a tank, it's a good strategy to mix species from different lineages.
