Can I keep pygmy cory cats and albino corry cats together without them mating?

I have both in one of my community tanks and was wondering if there is a possiblilty for them to breed and end up with wierd looking fry?

Probably not ... as long as their own species are present in any number,they keep "the call of the wild" among themselves.

Their courtships,and spawning,are different too.

There are different strains of albino corydoras resulting from Paleatus or Aeneus parentage. I have not seen or heard of albino pygmy corydoras so I doubt that your albino corys are the same species as your pygmy corys. They are not likely to cross species lines to breed and hybrid young would be extremely rare.
