New fishes!

No, kidding? I didn't know that. I am going to try to research that,
for the chance I have two different genus-(es?)-(ii?)

I would like to try my hand at breeding them. I seperated on of the
males into a 10 gallon tank yesterday. My plans are to seperate the
males/ females until I can get the females ready to spawn. Judging from
the males' behavior when I put the females in the tank with them.....
Spawning won't be a problem.

Two things concern me. The male I separated seemed almost sad in the
new tank. Felt sorry for the little guy. Second, maybe I should move
the females into the new tank instead and condition them there.

What do you think?


They are generally not difficult to spawn. I think the usual ratio is 3
males to each female. They are adhesive egg scatterers. If there aren't
any predators, condition them together. If I can recall when I spawned
corys, they leave the fry alone. The babies look like a whole lot of
jello covering the bottom of the tank after they hatch. I have no idea
if they can breed across the same genus (Corydoras) but different
species. I guess you might need to do some research.

How is your Japanese? This is a good cory site.
