fishcrazzy Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 thanks' il have a close look at them..... how many should i put together to breed them? bare tank or ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melrick1 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 yeh the females grow way bigger than the males and seem to be bulkier in general. when i was breeding them I had 2 big females and 3 males in a bare bottom tank. Realy easy fish to get to spawn. 20% water change every day while feeding up on bloodworm then at the end of the week a big 50% cold water change and you should get hundreds of eggs! raising them is a different story tho haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 One of our members had a group of albino corys in a tank that went very very green. By the time she cleaned it out, she discovered LOTS of fry in there as well. All happily living and breeding in the dark green water.

alanmin4304 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 You will do better if you seperate the males and females and condition them up for a couple of weeks then do the cold water thing at night and they generally will spawn in the morning.
