Breeding Cory's in a Nutshell

To breed cory's successfully, you must have two males per one female. A big water change (about 50%) with slightly lower temperature usually triggers breeding among cory's. When they are ready to breed, the males will chase the female around. After the female has chosen a male, they will get into a T-position in order for the female to gather milt from the male. The egg is dropped and caught in the female's pelvic fins drawn together making a pouch. She will then run away from the male and hide the eggs as best she can-- Cory's have a tendency to eat their own eggs.
