No, they're not merge-mineable and you'll have to pick from one or the other to mine. Just because both ETH and ETC use the same algorithm to mine doesn't mean they're merge-mineable, and if you're looking for coins to merge-mine with ETH, Claymore's dual miner (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1433925.0) offers some options, though keep in mind many of the merge mineable coins like Sia have been dominated by ASICs and thus aren't too profitable anymore- it is better to just plain mine ETH or ETC at the moment to keep electrical costs down.

Technically, you could mine both at the same time (if you really want to have both), and the way to do it would be to open 2 separate mining software with configurations pointed to each specific coin respectively. However, this doesn't mean that it is the most efficient way to do it.

As many have already pointed out, there is wisdom in mining the most profitable coin and simply buying ETH / ETC with the revenue gained.

If you want to mine other coins while mining etc or eth you can use the dual mining with claymore and mine with sia coin or any supported coins.
If you want to mine only one coin then stay with Ethereum because the profitability is stable than ETC.

if I assumed merged is dual-mining
yes, you can do but better don't do it because of dual-mining can be increasing power consumption and share to Pool isn't optimal.

dual mining is not profitable today.

Most coins that allowed dual mining are ASIC dominated, so there is NO PROFIT THERE. YouŽll only lose money.

Double mining unprofitable now. Coin prices have fallen. You can get a small profit from the double mining but all your income will be spent on the repayment of electricity bills and profits will never cover the reduction of the resource of your GPU. I think that double mining will never be attractive.
