moss...and a cold water change...if they are ready and fat.

Agree with what ranmasatome has said.

Not too many corydoras crazy folks here. Go to petfrd and look for lee or zac08 (michael). They should be able to help you. Not to sure if they are still playing with these fishes though.

Cheers,

Actaully thats the problem i have benny.. i can induce the trigger since they area laready in 24degree waters..hahaha..i can never get 21 degree water at water change... DUH!!

Think maybe shift them downstairs where water is not so cold..

actually i read many cory breeders site ... the more u try to induce them to breed, the more they will not ... provide clean water and some places to spawn and they will do it

yup, my hastatus are in a semi moss tank...
a cold wc refers to adding in cold water after draining out the old water? or keep the tank water at a generally cold temp ?

i agree with joe, set the tank out with plants like hygrophila and moss and leave them to it, you will know when they are ready to breed the females eyes turn black thats a good indication of when mine spawned, then get your magnifying glass out the eggs are about 1mm they lay every where.

yep just keep water clean, provide plants & hiding space, ample food around ... then go back to real life and come back sometime later and they will reward you
