Posted	albino and bronze corys
07-05-2007 17:37 by stevey boy	im setting up a 18x12x12 tank for purpose breeding of corys. if i put bronze and albino corys in there togethere do u reckon they will still breed allso what if i out panda or aldfoios in there
07-05-2007 17:43 by Jim Son	shouldnt make any difference Steve, although if its only an 18x12x12 you havent really got much room to play with? I would doubt you could get more than x2 species in there, in my experience groups of 4 and over are best for breeding, i.e. x4 Albino and x4 Bronze, how many cory do you think you could get in an 18x12x12 I would hazard a guess at 6-8? and that be pushing it, although with bredding cory, its good to regular and large water changes, some even advise 50% every other day believe it or not, but the cory will need to settle in first anyway, this could take a month or so
07-05-2007 17:44 by Jim Son	if you new to breding cory i would stick to albino or bronze, whats the pH and hardness of your tap water, do you know?
07-05-2007 17:51 by stevey boy	ph is about 7 to 7.5 i was gonna put about 5 of each in there 2 females and 3 males

08-05-2007 08:59 by PaddyD	Bronze corys and albino corys are most likely the same species (C.aeneus). So they will be fine. If you are trying to breed them I would not mix them with Panda or aldolphoi. The best thing to do is to go for a Trio of one Female to 2 Males. If possible, condition them in seperate tanks. Then bring the sexes together in the 18" tank - No Gravel is probably best, but you might like to add some broad leaf plants and java moss for spawning, they may use this or the aquarium glass to deposit the eggs. Once the are in I would feed with Live food if possible and raise the temp to about 80, keep it at that temp for a few days. Then carry out a series of 50% water changes with cold water - then let the heater bring the tank up. This should trigger the fish to spawn - they will be quite obvious about this. Then when they have finished it is best to remove the adults.
