I had 3 albino corys that I figured all were male since they were all same size. So I got 2 new larger ones today but I think they aren't the same type. The new ones are huge in comparison, and more yellow than white. Mine are not normal 'bronze' cory size like teh new ones. Were my originals a dwarf type? Will they still interbreed if so? You can see them mixed in these pics....

they are all the same... Corydoras aeneus (albino).. just the two larger ones are a bit older. Also, the color difference could come from what they had been eating previously to coming to you.

You never know they could be emerald cories which are much larger than bronze.

they are all corydoras aeneus (bronze corys) by the body shape and fin formation.. aeneus have a more rounded dorsil, where paleatus have a pointed dorsil fin and the body shape between the two is quite different.
