firefish Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 For the last few months I've been doing cold water changes to get my cories to spawn with no luck. I've decided to move them into my other tank and in the process try and see if I actually have a mix of males and females... I think that females are broader from above, but are any of these broad enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 What are you feeding them on? I've been feeding mine colourbits, whiteworms and bloodworms and they're laying at least once a week. The day the fry hatch is usually when they spawn again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefish Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I've got a range of sinking foods and pellets that sink (like NLS, wafers etc). All packet stuff, no frozen or live food. Might give them ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Yea that's the way to go, whiteworms are so cheap to 'run' and are a great source of live food. Mine are tearing through a slice of luncheon a day. I'm sure if you started feeding them you'd have eggs in no time 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopper Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I put some cory's in my pond last summer and forgot about them, it totally iced over in winter. I saw them the other day they must be bullet proof, will fish them out and return them inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antwan Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 wow what type, and what part of nz do you live in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuglyDragon Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I have only spawned them accidentally several times but its allways been after screwing up a water change in my planted tank and overheating the incoming water to around 29 - 30 celcius.

phoenix44 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 I have them and have added them to my existing shoal. Have 10 of them now I think. No breeding to report yet, but I get eggs from the 4 I have always had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopper Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 The ones that where in the frozen pond where peppered corydoras. Im living in blenheim, I saw one yesterday. When I fill up my pond they swim into the shallows to grub around for food, with the goldfish. I guess they are fine in the summer but not very nice for them in the winter. Hard to catch them because they live on the bottom so have to fill up pond to catch them. Hope do get em back in next few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
