May 16, 200818 yr comment_235163 My breeding corys aren't interested and haven't been for quite some. Since i saved some eggs and had a go at raising them really. Is it the weather? Tank temp still 26, Is it because there's 2 of their babys in the tank with them? (Dont want to put the bubs in the comm tank as its too big to catch them again) I've done small water changes, cause of the bubs, (and there's wcmm + swordtail fry in there) They get live food regularly, catfish pellets, I say hi everyday...... What else could it be? Report
May 16, 200818 yr comment_235236 I pour in a cup of tea in my cory tank and turned off the heater. Two days later eggs everywhere, then turn the heater back on. Report

May 19, 200818 yr comment_235721 I used to put them in a clean bare tank after conditioning them with no heat!turn the heater on and they spawned the next morning without fail,this was mainly peppereds but did the same thing with bronzys.take them out when you have enough eggs as they will eat them after a while.

May 20, 200818 yr comment_235957 That isn't the way to do it. Tea introduces tanins (generally but not always good) and changes pH in ways you can't predict. A better way is to use bogwood, soft water, and do lots of water changes. Report
June 22, 200818 yr comment_245331 I hope this isn't considered too off topic, but I was wondering re corys, can they breed in pairs or must you have a group?? Just that all the info I've found so far says 6 is best Report
June 22, 200818 yr Author comment_245337 I have 2 boys and 1 girl but thats how i brought them. They used to be breeding stock for a small fish store that was in town. Because i have lots of WCMM and swordtail fry in the same tank im not doing the big water changes that seem to get them in the mood. Report
June 22, 200818 yr comment_245356 You only need one of each sex but they will be more likely to spawn in a group. Report
June 25, 200818 yr comment_246010 Mine normlly spawn when i do 30% water change and i also have put in ice in the tank to cool the water and this worked also Report
