btw, they are bronze/green cories...

I spawned Corydorous aeneus, which might be what you have.

Yep... are they the easiest,hardest, somewhere between, to spawn?

It's a bit subjective, and also depends on the popularity of the fish
(the more out there - the more spawning opportunities), but C.aeneus
is usually considered the easiet of the Corys to spawn. Having said
that, Corys are certainly not the easiest _fish_ to spawn, but once
you get them going, the right fish in the right conditions, then
they make it look easy ;~).

Someone with more experience should advise you. You will need a
source of food (decaying plant matter = infusoria, frozen bbs,
freshly hatched bbs, tube fry food, powder fry food, boiled egg
yolk etc), and a lower water level for a while.

How about liquifry and powdered flake? My LFS doesn't know what
micro worms are..

Powdered flake would not be my first choice. Too large,
inconsistent and swells after it gets wet, which for fry could be
disasterous. Liquidfry for egglayers (there are 2 types) should be
fine, once you have figured out how to get the food to the fry (use
a long pipe to direct the food). Rick can confirm, but feeding
should not start until the fry have consumed their eggsacs and start
becoming mobile. That's in 2 days at 77F (?).

Hi Red . . .

I suggest decapsulated brine shrimp eggs which are tiny enough for
fry, keep for quite a long time and a little goes a very long way. I
bought mine from http://brineshrimpdirect.com

Just my .02

Hello, my LFS has some, was going to get some today as a matter of fact...
micro worms seem to be impossible to find around here, but the hunt is STILL
on...
