Just purchased groups of Pandas, Emerald’s, and Pepper’s, and am sure glad I found your channel! Thank you for passing on your incredible knowledge to us Cory novices. Have a great day!

I love my Albino Cory's and I love the vid. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I hope you keep the vids coming!

Hi Jill! Corydora's are by far my favorite type of aquarium fish. Ever since I was a little kid my Dad always had a 75 gallon tank set up in our house. He always kept a pair of Angelfish, several types of Mollies, Shrimp, Neon Tetras, a Pleco and Corydora's. My Dad had several types of Cory's... Albino, Bronze, Julli, Black band and Spotted. Corydora's were the first type of fish I was able to successfully breed, which I thought was amazing! My favorite type of Cory is the Bronze. I've had a few of them live 5-6yrs, which is part of the reason I like them so much. Anyway, Just wanted to say... I love your channel!

Planning to try getting my orange Venezuelan and orange laser Cory’s to breed in my 150 gallon planted tank (I need more of both of them first), and will be getting a different variety for my son’s 30 gallon tank to try breeding (probably either pandas, Julii’s, Adolfi, or another type that’s known to be easier to breed and very fun to watch in a group) Any suggestions on breeds that are easier to breed than others with corydoras catfish?

Interesting video, thanks. After many years together my pair of Emerald Corys suddenly produced about a dozen little ones, not sure why now, but its great to see. I once had a long tail Panda mate with a short tail, and produce a medium sized tail pair of fry that were very cute, and lived for years, but never produced any more fry. I have a well established and heavily planted tank so I think that helps with the survivability of the fry. Also, I am not sure if the fry are growing at different rates, or if they are actually from multiple hatches, since some are quite small and some are much larger, or do they just grow at different rates?

@janetwebster5099

I am also wondering about this: In October 2022 I got 3 Albino Corys (all there were at the store), 3 weeks later I bought 3 more to have the standard 6. The odd thing is though they were all the same size when I got them, (very small a bit over an inch long) for the last few months they have settled into what seems to be their long term size. One is VERY big (for a Cory) and I have named him Zoyburg! - he is about 3 inches long, two are extremely small - still about an inch maybe 1.25 of an inch, and the other 3 are in the middle; maybe a bit over two inches. Recently they DID lay a bunch of eggs (probably the largest one - but did not see them doing it) after an evening of acting absolutely nuts. I was worried something was wrong; so checked the water and while nitrites were fine, nitrates were a bit high. So; did a 65% water change with usual chemicals, put a new zeo - carb insert in my AquaClear filter, and rinsed off several of my artificial plants. Then I turned off the light and covered the tank with a towel. The next morning I found 2 bunches of eggs on the glass of the tank . However I am currently not too excited as I don't think they will survive. I put them all into a breeding box, with airstones nearby. Am wishing I would have just put the airstone in with them as now (two days on) think they may be dead as they look white. What I need to know is HOW TO KEEP THE EGGS ALIVE TO HATCH. I know that I DID have to move them as the tank they are in (Vista 16 - BEST TANK EVER IMO) has 4 different types of fish, all very small - 6x Albino Corys, 6x Rio Tetras, 2x Clown Plecos, 2x Bristlenose Plecos. Everyone gets along very well and they are happy as can be, but I am sure they would have eaten the eggs had I not moved them. The Plecos love to hang out on the tank walls so they would definitely have found them! If anyone has any ideas re 1 - THE 3 DIFFERENT SIZES or 2 - HOW TO HATCH THE EGGS, please let me know. BTW The two tiny ones are not in any way weak or sickly. In fact they are the most active ones and love to swim quickly from side to side , or to the surface. I am wondering if that is why they stay so small - too much exercise! Conversely Zoyburg, the giant one, stays near the tank bottom almost all the time and spends all his/her time looking for food & eating it. They two in the middle are mainly on the tank bottom but swim a bit though not NEARLY as much as the two teeny ones. The teensy ones are a joy to watch, and I sometimes think that they think they are tetras, as they like to swim with them!

I have four Bronze and two Peppers in my tank along with my Tetras,( Black Skirts, Black Neons, Neons and Black Phantoms). I recently discovered a baby Bronze about an inch long in my tank. I think it is the only one. Oh, and I also have a Siamese Alge eater and some Octos in there .

My orange laxer corys bred once and have not done so again in 2 weeks. Honestly don’t remember what I did or what triggered the spawn but I am acing trouble spacing them again :(. Will try to buy live black worms to feed them today and hopping this helps. I was told doing cold water changes during a low pressure front helps too but is that really a good trigger or will I be wasting my time waiting for the low pressure front to come?

I have been able to get my albino corridors to breed about once a week. I get 20 to 30 eggs I was letting them go and not taking them separating them and nothing was happening I was getting her babies. So I decided to get a little hang on basket net and I put them in there and waited and I ended up with about 5:00 so far. But after their sack is gone they're dying and I don't know what I'm doing wrong here I wasn't deliberately trying to bring them I only have two albinos and to Pepper in my aquarium, so I do want more to get bigger groups make them happier. Then I can move them to the 70 gallon tank once I have enough. But let me know I was giving them brine shrimp eggs

I love cory dora! I have peppered corys and they spawned unexpectedly and we only for 3 to survive. we had 9 fry to begin with but they all started to die off and so we added the surviving 3 to our community tank and we see them every once and awhile.

Temp is around 21, and parameters are perfect and stable. Any advice?

What a lovey PAIR!!………Of Corydoras

i've been doing a fish in cycle for around 2 months now and it is finally almost perfect. I also think I discovered 2-3 of my corydoras are pregnant! I want to be able to keep the babies and see if I can successfully keep them alive but i'm not sure how to get the eggs? do i wait for her to lay them and then take them into a different tank? or do I let them raise them? (that's if they don't eat them).. i also have a betta in their tank that would probably eat the eggs

My cories dragged the pleco caves and driftwood too one side of the tank and then burrowed beneath the large fake rock.

When I was in college many years ago I had a small little tank in my dorm with two corydoras I'd gotten from a pet store, not even knowing if they were male or female. One day I saw what appeared to be a few eggs...not knowing what to do exactly I removed the eggs into a separate container with the tank water for safekeeping. To my surprise a few of them actually hatched and grew up. I guess they are easy fish to breed!

I've been seeing my Corys "mate" for months on end (couples doing side to side wiggles in close contact) but no offsprings. My guess is the other fish got to them first---or maybe they weren't actually mating.
