Breeding peppered corydoras?

[D-Hawk]

I have recently added 7 corys to my community tank and would like to breed them.

how do I tell which ones are girls and which ones are boys.

thanks

I think the females look broader than the males if you look down on them....also I think I read somewhere that if you look at the females when they are resting the front of them don't rest on the gravel they are slightly raised......

They will figure it out when they are old enough to breed.

When coryodorus are sexually mature you feed them up well then give them a water change that cools the water at night and they will generally spawn a few hours after sunrise. You will have more luck breeding them in a seperate tank but you can remove the eggs and raise the fry in another tank.

how do you tell when they are ready to breed?

turns out they lay eggs all over your tank.

Actually, you'll notice them almost fighting/dancing together around the tank and then a pair will for a T shape with the female putting her face to the male's middle.
