Albino And Bronze Cory

I have 5 albinos did have 6 but one passed away few weeks ago he had a accident or a fight found him one day with only one eye then few days later he passed away so I'm thinking about uping my group but I was wondering if I get bronze cory will they all school together seeming their are the same species?

 

They should all school together.

 

They should all school together.

Thank that's what I thought but couldnt find a answer on google I mean my albino aint a tight school unlike my sterbaI maybe because they almost blind? They do sleep and eat together tho and occasionally swim together

Aeneus aren't tight schoolers.
I've never seen any evidence that albinos are nearly blind.

I know human albinos can't see very well I just presumed be same for animals

We had an albino dog. He was completely deaf, but made up for it with his excellent sight and smell

 

My albino angelfish fry were seemingly blind. The very very young fry. Juvies and adults seem to have no sight issues though.

And for what it's worth, I have my first albino CORY fry and they do NOT seem to have sight issues like the albino angel fry. I find that interesting. And the adults appear to see just fine as well.

That is probably due to the damage done by sunradiation cause of the lack of protection (pygments)

But do you think his deafness was due to being an albino?

We were told that the deafness came along with the albinism. He was a purebread Tibetan terrier, I guess they're really expensive. My aunt used the breeder for all of her dogs, and when she bought his brother, she ended up taking him home too, he was free because he couldn't be sold with the "defect". So, I don't know if its the same with people, or other animals, but apparently with dogs, it's common.

Your point about the blindness makes complete sense though. Blue eyed people tend to be more sensitive to sunlight than people with dark eyes, so I can see how albino people could have eye problems caused by sun exposure.. Very interesting!

Okay interesting.
One more question before going on topic again (sorry).
If this dog was albino then its brothers and sisters should be albino as well. Am I correct ?

 

I have both albino and bronze corys. Started with 3 of each and now have more bronze than I really should have. Most of the fry came from an albino female. I guess the bronze gene must be stronger than the albino gene. My 3 albinos don't stick with each other. They pretty much each do their own thing with no concerns at all as to where their tank mates are.

 

Well I ended up getting 3 more albino corys today instead of bronze and ended up getting a pair of dwarf gouramis couldn't resist here a pic of the male

Yeah I've read if bronze and albino breed you will get all bronze but the babies do carry the albino gene so if one of the babies breed with an albino you should get mix albino and bronze

 

The albino gene is recessive. So the fish needs to have two albino genes to be albino. This is why the bronze and albinos often only make bronze babies.

However, albino cories are so common, that I would expect MANY of the bronze ones out there to already have a recessive albino gene. But obviously many will not as well.

Its like with the BN plecos...the albino pleco has gotten so common, that it is almost hard to find a brown pleco that does NOT have a recessive albino gene these days!!

got a pic of the female ?

 

got a pic of the female ?

Yeah

 

Yeah

Yahoooooo you got a female !!!!!

 

Okay interesting.

I guess others have pretty much answered, but its the same with people and other animals as well as fish, a recessive gene, and will pop up now and again, but not with all offspring. Apparently this lady had a few throughout the years..

 

Yahoooooo you got a female !!!!!

Yeah I got 2 males and 2 females not all in same tank my pets shop has loads of females 2 for £5

To be honest I went wrong there. Of course the broters and sisters don't have to be albino (only if both parents are). Thanks

Really great they are available

 

Really great they are available

Yeah in England they is a massive pet shop chain called pets at home and most of them sell females

but 2 males in the same tank?

 

but 2 males in the same tank?

No one pair is in my 20 gallon long and the other pair is in my 36g I know 2 males would more likely be asking for trouble I know some people who has success keeping 2 males in one tank but I ain't going to risk it
