Breeding Corydoras, by Eric Naus
Hope this helps! I love these little hard working, always moving catfish!!!!
Good luck with your breeding attempt!

[oliesminis]

karma to you.

this isnt a serious attemp but one of my cories looks to be acting strangly and geting tubby around the belly

hope i get a couple survive if i do

[coral reefer]

Your best bet to get them the young to survive if in fact you are able to get them to breed would be to put them in a separate tank so the young don't get eaten! Again best of luck!

[oliesminis]

any ideas of something that can go in tht tank if i dont have any births

[coral reefer]

I don't understand your question? Can you reword it so I can better be able to help ya!?

[oliesminis]

if i get a tank for any births. any suggestion of good fish to sit in there so it isnt empty. preferably one that will not be aggresive to fry

[mattgeezer]

just a suggestion olie what about a siamese fighter . they are quite placid by themselves anyway

[oliesminis]

thanks so a siamese fighting fish in a seperate tank which i can use if i do get any births
