When I first started my community tank I did research and found that most species of corydoras will school together. I have noticed that this isn't always the case in my tank, however. They all get along fine, but they don't school like I had thought. I am not complaining or let down in any way, just pointing out what I see.
I have a mixture of 2 julii, 2 panda, 2 emerald, 2 albino, and 3 peppered corydoras in my 72 gal tank. The emerald and albinos hang together. The pandas stay together. The peppereds rule the plants (and only leave when its feeding time). One julii is a loner drifting from clique to clique, the other julii swims in the currents from the filters by himself (he may be a little "slow" lol) One emerald, one albino and one peppered are recent additions. Just as I figured they would, they all met up with their own species and joined the correct "gang".
Have any of you experienced something simular? They do mix from time to time, but really seem to seek the company of simular species.
