@@KeepingFishSimple hi. Form me. 1 female for 2 or 3 males.. Its difficult for the males.. Thanks for your video. My problem is: i am french and you speak so speed (for me lol😉) 😊
I have been doing this for 40 years and still have to make tweaks as fish refuse to cooperate with my plans and intentions. It is nice to see someone that is not afraid to show things that were perhaps a bit short of success. You are one of the few UA-camrs I watch and enjoy. It's nice to come back to older videos because I am never done learning and love new ideas. Thank you.
We have about 75 cory's in 16 different varaities. Here they spawn eggs most of the time when the waterlevel gets lower and the spraybar comes above the waterlevel what mimics rain on water. Mostly they lay their eggs about 3 or 5 cm below the waterlevel on the windows or something that hangs there vertically like the thermometer or the waterinlet. I roll the eggs from the windows and put them in a seperate little tank of 20 liters with an airpomp. The first month we give them Artemia and Dapnia (dried powder) This way is very succesfull for us and raised many cory babies.
Than you for sharing this process. I agree that maybe letting the tub season and grow alge. Maybe even place some seasoned structure and plants in the bottom like they had in their tank? I am looking forward to the continuation of this process.
I have a colony of the 9 Schultzei Black Cory's that spawn for me every few weeks. They are a line bred version of the C. Schultzei, which the non black variety looks very similar to C. Aeneus. I keep them in a standard 20g High tank. They do lay pretty good batches of eggs, but they like to spawn on vertical spaces. Very often times my will spawn in the corners of the top of the tank. In addition to the corners of the tank they love to spawn vertically on jungle vals and another hornwort like plant I have floating in the tank. I would say they spawn in the afternoon, but I haven't found any correlation between waterchanges, but feeding heavy amounts of bloodworms does help a bunch. I find Hikari to work the best as it is a smaller bloodworm. I like to feed two cubes a night- always excess food. Catfish love to eat! I only have a sponge filter, hornwort, jungle vals, and java moss in the tank, on sand. When I do get eggs, the problem isn't hatching the eggs, I have issues raising the fry. Really happy to see another person breeding corys with passion! I never see anybody doing anything with them.
To make it all even better, just a few hours after I made this comment my colony spawned! The method I am trying is a the half gallon hang on back fluval breeder box on my 75g tank so I can feed a lot and heavy without doing water changes. I had some success with it in the past, but the largest issue is time and keeping up on feedings
@Moses KongI I don't have a video because I haven't ever caught them in the act. Nor would think to take a video of it. I don't really take videos of anything.
i have the same problem as yourself my friend my tank is full of eggs getting them out & hatching is a nightmare i have almost given up i just buy them now can't be chewed , with the faffing about ,
To breed in them bins, I think you should put them outside expose to the sun full of rain water and let them bin age with guppies so alge grow on the walls. I said guppies to stop mosquitoes and produce waste to activate formation of alge, so molly or platy will work too. That is my idea, please don't try painting your bin first most paint are smooth and second toxic. Alge texture and not toxic. I don't think you want to kill your breeders. All the best with your breeding, you are doing good.👍🐟🐟🐟
Hi I am Very New to this Aquarium Hobby So I really Need Your Help So I Got a 6 Gallon Tank Recently Dimensions Are : 15.74Inches x 9.05Inches x 9.84Inches and I also Got A Good Internal Filter and the Temperatures are also All right as I Live in India my Water Temperature is around 26-28Celcius. And I Wanna Buy A Beautiful Looking And Hardy Fish. So can you suggest Me Fish Please Many Suggested Me Bettas But still I am not sure If I should get bettas or anything else. Which Fish do you Suggest Me? And Thx a Lot 😃 pls Help
With a 6 Gallon tank you really cant keep many fish, that is why people might be suggesting bettas. plus bettas are great fish that have personalities.
10 danio or minnow or a mixture of the two no more than 15 and may be add 1 betta later if you think the tank is up to it small tanks are harder than bigger ones to look after
Have you tried changing water level to breed Cories? I feel that with some it's more effective to allow the water to get low (~50% full or less) and then fill it up as they can feel the difference in pressure.
I bet turning off some water flow once the tank gets low might help too. Then blast them with some rainwater and turn all the flow back on. Maybe even add some extra flow too.
@@meminustherandomgooglenumbers I feel it's more the flow and water level. I don't think it has ANYTHING to do with rainwater bc I never use it and don't even change water much and never have had a problem
@@shadeaquaticbreeder2914 different cories have different triggers. And the rainy season - which is what most of them are looking for - does typically include some sort of rain. And after a rain, what happens? Yup that’s right! Increased water flow.
@@meminustherandomgooglenumbers that is true but what do people often tell you. You NEED rainwater and a lot of flow. That's not necessarily true bc I never used those.
Great learning process! Not a fail in my book, not if you learned and grew as a fish keeper from it. I’m just a beginner with some bettas and I appreciate your videos a ton. I’ve definitely learned a lot from watching this channel :) Keep up the great work!

@@abdulazeez6088 Oh also a month is a very short time in breeding fish, my number one suggestion with people trying to breed fish is to be patient and just focus on keeping the fish happy
@@ThereHeIsOutdoors Have u never heard of seeding new sponges/filters with old filter/tank media? Instantly cycled tank. The man's a pro, he wouldn't be that senseless and reckless to try and chance it with new filters.
@@Teamlastofus Trust me, it has been done, even by "pros". I have spiked a few times when introducing fish to tanks that I thought were cycled or had a new filter as I had nothing else at hand. And I have bred just about everything with fins.
My Black “Schultzei’s” breed like guppies. Every 2 weeks or so. I guess I’m lucky. I keep good water quality, good food, etc. I don’t use RO - my water is about 200 tds, Ph 7.4. Good luck 👍🏻👍🏻😉😉
kitchen trash cans are typically white, so maybe that could help? But, no, this video was NOT a waste of time. I see so many videos that talk about breeding corys, but I hadn't seen much about the behaviors... so thank you!
Actually that particular copy of the book that you've got is the complete version, and it's sells at around the $135.00 mark. All the others are like individual sections from the copy you have, and (on Amazon and eBay for example) are around the $20.00 to $35.00 mark. But what the hell - I bought the full copy like yours anyway, lol. 🤣😂😅🤣😎
It's actually crucial that you cross pipes touching like that, as the corydora can feel the flow and vibrational current of the others and they can actually communicate through it.
You may know now how they fertilize but for those who don’t know.. Step 1: Male will go in front of females face and do the T pose Step 2: Male will deposit sperm onto females whiskers Step 3: Female will find a spot to lay eggs Step 4: Female will lay eggs Step 5: Female will rub her whiskers with males sperm onto eggs Now steps 2-5 can also go a little different than that.. The female actually chooses whether or not she will collect the sperm from the male before or after depositing eggs. Also the female will do 1 out of 2 things to fertilize the eggs. She will either “lay” the sperm down on a spawning site and then deposite eggs onto that sperm coating or she will lay the eggs and then fertilize them with her whiskers after she had laid the eggs. Another thing.. the female doesn’t always fertilize on site. She may lay the eggs in a spot and 20 minutes later she will collect the sperm and go fertilize the eggs even after she had laid in another spawning site. They remember where they laid all their eggs and they will go back to them to fertilize so when spawning Corydoras you want to give them roughly 30-60 minutes after the spawning is done to allow them to go fertilize any eggs they have not done so to yet to give them a chance to fertilize them. I hope this helps anyone who is attempting to spawn Corydoras!
i can breed bristle nose plecos no problem hundreds of them but cory's it's the messing about with the egg's water changing every day can't keep up with it i have 2x tank's to keep big one's as well as my own job not enough hour's in the week for me to have spare time if am messing about water changing every day just for eggs i sell my pleco's to my 2x local pet shop's or swap fish
I had some sterbai in with some discuss ph 6.5 i bred them by accident when i was feeding live white worms and doing weekly water changes with ro water.
It's always irks me when people say the eggs will/do get eaten bc I just breed and grown fry out in the tank with the parents and they NEVER eat them. The only time I've had eggs get eaten was when I fed every other day and 1 species of Goodeid found a taste for them but only the fully grown and they stopped once I changed the setup. I also don't do religious water changes, maybe once every 6 months and it doesn't effect breeding times at all, they just breed when they are ready.
My peppered cories eat the eggs almost as fast as they lay them. I've tries leaving the eggs in there but unfortunately parents end up eating them in a matter of minutes
@@p3teytran that's crazy. You mean paleatus I am guessing? My paleatus still didn't when I had some. Do you underfeed them or something? I really want to find out why this happens bc it really doesn't happen to me. My Cories just had more eggs and the last batch hatched and the water was even crystal clear this time and they don't eat the eggs or fry. I only feed once a day as well so it's not like I keep feeding them but I do try to overfeed them. I wonder if it has anything to do with tank size although that wouldn't make much sense to me unless there's not enough room for the babies in their minds so they eat them. Mine are in an 8'×3' tank rn.
@@shadeaquaticbreeder2914 if anything I overfeed becauze that's what I've been told stimulates breeding. Mainly feed them frozen bloodworms, freeze dried tubifex worms or bug bites. But yea man they eat them so fast its crazy
@@p3teytran that's nuts. I swear I'll find this out and make a vid on it. I'll pry make one soon on my Cories and ricefish, I already have one on my Gobies. I feed mine a flake mix and just frozen rotifers and cyclops that I thaw out in a squeeze bottle in the fridge. Rn I think I'll start with space constraints. I'll try putting a few in this small planter pot I have and see if they eat them in there.
I think it was this video that had a tank with dozens of angels in the background. I thought we were only to have just a few fish per tank. How can I accomplish this? Thx!
You could try laying white or light coloured tiles at the bottom of the bins to add visibility to the adults. Its something I've seen done by a few other individuals.
Awesome video. I love the long format. Try putting on some Barry White for the fish, half of the human babies conceived during the 1970’s were the result of his music being played. It may just work for cory cats as well.
dump giant clumps of java moss in there and the females will swim through it while dropping the eggs. The fish don't like to swim in there usually and the eggs will stay safe. I've been able to save quite a few eggs that way. Unfortunately the babies keep jumping off cliffs. RIP
Can you make a video about breeding guppies? Just kidding :-) This is a really entertaining chanel. I have a question. I love German Blue Rams. I have tried to hatch the eggs, or pull the fry, etc, and generally interfere, and always effed it up. Now they laid eggs, are raising them, and I decided to let them be because my pair seem to be regular egg layers and care for the fry - except the odd fry that gets eaten by the dad. I have 60+ fry (from 100 originally) after 10 days. I was considering removing the parents, but was wondering: once I remove them, do the fry still stick together in a shoal, or would they lose the thing that unites them in a shoal (the parents) and scatter around the tank aimlessly? Would it break their heart? I'm kind of serious.
My Corydoras aeneus started spawning after I simulated rain...I had two males and one big female. And I watched the whole spawning, very different type of spawning...the female deposited/stuck the eggs(held in her pelvic fins) on the glass, I couldn't find any eggs on the plants. Corydoras aeneus are also from Venezuela.
Hi and compliment for your passion and your fish farm. For this project in my opinion you have a great idea, but if possible you could increase the success if you use a glass slide instead of mops or pvc pipes. I noticed Corys loves breads and put their eggs on glass and if you use several glass slide (1 at time) till they spamm, every day you could move the slide in a haching acquarium fighting fungus and other problems and every day the cory could spamm on a new and clean glass. Do you believe this idea could works? I make you my best compliments again for your really good works and sorry for my little english
still lovin all ya vids bro ive been trying to finda way to breed platies on a budget in a 1 bedroom unit, i think the bin method is a greattttttttt idea! bunnings life haha
I just purchased several Venezuelan black corydoras and it was a choice between that and the albino. I love the blacks and whites together and in my opinion they compliment eachother in a community tank. Thanks for these informative videos you really love fish! ❤ 🐟
From what I understand is the male deposits the milt infront of the female while she has eggs held in her cupped analfins and as she releases water through her gills it pushes the milt towards the eggs and she will swim forward making sure the milt comes in contact with the eggs before she sticks them to a surface. For further tries get white tubs/trash cans they work way better or if you can't find any get white marine fish safe paint and paint the inside.
@@fawnclaudia No problem. The white tubs or paint hides the eggs better, at least it seems that's what it is. I've had much better success with little egg praydation when I use white tubs or with the inside painted white.
I've just started breeding my bronze corys. They've always laid viable eggs I've just never let them grow before because I didn't have anything to do with them. Now I'm selling them to a local fish store
Hey bud, good effort, and it always worth trying something new! In regards to the origins of schultzei black corydoras I made a video on it 👍 C. Schultzei AKA Black Corydoras

I’m trying to find fairy corydoras (corydora atropersonatus). I would love to try to breed them. Everyone know where I can find some?
You may know now how they fertilize but for those who don’t know..
Step 1: Male will go in front of females face and do the T pose
Step 2: Male will deposit sperm onto females whiskers
Step 3: Female will find a spot to lay eggs
Step 4: Female will lay eggs
Step 5: Female will rub her whiskers with males sperm onto eggs
Now steps 2-5 can also go a little different than that..
The female actually chooses whether or not she will collect the sperm from the male before or after depositing eggs. Also the female will do 1 out of 2 things to fertilize the eggs. She will either “lay” the sperm down on a spawning site and then deposite eggs onto that sperm coating or she will lay the eggs and then fertilize them with her whiskers after she had laid the eggs.
Another thing.. the female doesn’t always fertilize on site. She may lay the eggs in a spot and 20 minutes later she will collect the sperm and go fertilize the eggs even after she had laid in another spawning site. They remember where they laid all their eggs and they will go back to them to fertilize so when spawning Corydoras you want to give them roughly 30-60 minutes after the spawning is done to allow them to go fertilize any eggs they have not done so to yet to give them a chance to fertilize them.
I hope this helps anyone who is attempting to spawn Corydoras!

hi I need some advise im trying to.spawn my gold lasers and everything I do isn't working what are there trigger point please
can you breed them in something else cuz im a kid and i dont think that my parents are going to buy a bin just for some fish😂
Here in Texas a.k.a. America become bottom feeders he he
Have you thought of using white tubs?
trash cans like that in america from home depot are 100$ lol!!
I really love your videos, i wish you shipped to united states❤❤
I was going to buy your fish but I live in California
Why have I only now realized you have a store...
I’m glad you shared this. Thank you for the opportunity to learn. It’s all a learning process.
I'm new to the hobby but what about a white tub? That way they couldn't see the eggs?
Sweet vid! Even though it wasn’t a total success, I think it was super informative.
Thank you!
Will newly hatched corydora fry be ok living in treated water instead of parents tank water? Thanks.
Hello, can you tell me if the betta is male or female if I send you an image
I think it was this video that had a tank with dozens of angels in the background. I thought we were only to have just a few fish per tank. How can I accomplish this? Thx!
Excess filtration and water changes.
Nice system bro👍
Love ure videos leaning a lot ,but what the best fish u have breed
my corydoras use to breed once I changed the water
You could try laying white or light coloured tiles at the bottom of the bins to add visibility to the adults. Its something I've seen done by a few other individuals.
Yes ! Thank you
Here in America we call them bottom feeders
It might be better if you spawn them in white tubs then they wont see the eggs
Awesome informatibe vid man! Wish you have a more succesfull spawns soon. Cheers!
Thank you
It would be nice if you left the info you put up in the video long enough to read. Good video!
Pause it
Or slow the video down
Love the vid mate !
I'm really excited about your triumph with the black venezuelans!! That is so exciting!!!
Hello, like))
Ratio between male female corydoras? Thanks
3:1
Awesome video. I love the long format. Try putting on some Barry White for the fish, half of the human babies conceived during the 1970’s were the result of his music being played. It may just work for cory cats as well.
Thanks so much Darryl
The awesomeness of this comment is not appreciated here. I would also add Al Green and Marvin Gaye to guaranty 100% success.
snails eat the ones from corydoras?
Same as goldfish and koi
Those fish got 'triggered'!!!
And they are ok without a heater ??
Why can‘t i order the book?
dump giant clumps of java moss in there and the females will swim through it while dropping the eggs. The fish don't like to swim in there usually and the eggs will stay safe. I've been able to save quite a few eggs that way. Unfortunately the babies keep jumping off cliffs. RIP
Can you make a video about breeding guppies?
Just kidding :-) This is a really entertaining chanel. I have a question. I love German Blue Rams. I have tried to hatch the eggs, or pull the fry, etc, and generally interfere, and always effed it up. Now they laid eggs, are raising them, and I decided to let them be because my pair seem to be regular egg layers and care for the fry - except the odd fry that gets eaten by the dad. I have 60+ fry (from 100 originally) after 10 days. I was considering removing the parents, but was wondering: once I remove them, do the fry still stick together in a shoal, or would they lose the thing that unites them in a shoal (the parents) and scatter around the tank aimlessly? Would it break their heart? I'm kind of serious.
My Corydoras aeneus started spawning after I simulated rain...I had two males and one big female. And I watched the whole spawning, very different type of spawning...the female deposited/stuck the eggs(held in her pelvic fins) on the glass, I couldn't find any eggs on the plants. Corydoras aeneus are also from Venezuela.
So far I have lost three , times of their eggs. She has a lot at a time. As soon as I lower the water temperature to 65 she has eggs. Crazy 🤪
Hi and compliment for your passion and your fish farm. For this project in my opinion you have a great idea, but if possible you could increase the success if you use a glass slide instead of mops or pvc pipes. I noticed Corys loves breads and put their eggs on glass and if you use several glass slide (1 at time) till they spamm, every day you could move the slide in a haching acquarium fighting fungus and other problems and every day the cory could spamm on a new and clean glass. Do you believe this idea could works? I make you my best compliments again for your really good works and sorry for my little english
still lovin all ya vids bro ive been trying to finda way to breed platies on a budget in a 1 bedroom unit, i think the bin method is a greattttttttt idea! bunnings life haha
I just purchased several Venezuelan black corydoras and it was a choice between that and the albino. I love the blacks and whites together and in my opinion they compliment eachother in a community tank. Thanks for these informative videos you really love fish! ❤ 🐟
From what I understand is the male deposits the milt infront of the female while she has eggs held in her cupped analfins and as she releases water through her gills it pushes the milt towards the eggs and she will swim forward making sure the milt comes in contact with the eggs before she sticks them to a surface.
For further tries get white tubs/trash cans they work way better or if you can't find any get white marine fish safe paint and paint the inside.
Hey! Sorry to intrude, wanted to ask what’s the benefit of the pail being specifically white colour?
@@fawnclaudia No problem. The white tubs or paint hides the eggs better, at least it seems that's what it is. I've had much better success with little egg praydation when I use white tubs or with the inside painted white.
@@seangere9698 oh so that’s what it is! Thanks for the reply
@@fawnclaudia Not a problem and any time.
You should try a light sprinkle of sand in the bottom of the tubs as a lot of Cory's like to spawn under some sand

I've just started breeding my bronze corys. They've always laid viable eggs I've just never let them grow before because I didn't have anything to do with them. Now I'm selling them to a local fish store
Just a question as I am attempting to breed Sterbei at the moment is your room heated or do you not use heaters for your Corys
corydoras dark room, kinky
Hey bud, good effort, and it always worth trying something new!
In regards to the origins of schultzei black corydoras I made a video on it 👍

Thanks so much! Already checked out the vid
Is that an external breeding box from Marina on the left? :) I saw it in the beginning of your video and I'm very interested in your experiences with it.
