Matthew Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 No they are not live bearers. They deposit their eggs around various places in the tank. Easiest way to tell the sex is to look at them from above - females will have a wider girth. Also if they are full grown the females tend to be significantly larger than the males. They possibly will deposit there eggs in a community tank - mine do. The eggs tend to get eaten though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oeminx Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 My Cory's breed in my com tank, laid on the glass in the front top right corner of my tank then i just used a razor blade (Kids ask your parents first) to scrape the eggs off that glass. <-------- Out of the eggs pop this little guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Sorry for stealing the thread but Is it best to have more males than females when breeding corys? I've got 3 males and 1 female bronze corys (the females HUGE). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 The general recommendation is more males than females - apparently it results in more fertile eggs. A ratio of 3:1 sounds good. You may find that in this weather (low pressure) that the fish are more eager to spawn - do a large water change with cool water and see how they respond Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
