breeding corydoras metae

[corywhale]

Hello everybody, recently i bought the corydoras metae , they look really nice and i want to breed them

I have everything at my disposal for breeding them, but i am not sure my breeding tank is big enough.
I have all kinds of frozen food so that would't be a problem
But i have a 20L tank with a heater and filter +a sand substrate

Will they breed in this tank ?
And if they will, do i have to prepare them for breeding in the breeding tank or in my normal tank?

Have you checked out the info for Corydoras Matae in the cat-elog.http://www.planetcatfish.com/common/spe ... cies_id=24.

How many do you have?

Give them a mop just in case. Here I collected eggs mainly in the mop, very few on glass just the one touching the mop. I did not look under plants leaves, maybe I should.

Good luck!

@corywhale, did you read this Shane's World article?

So you want to breed corys?

I have 7 now
And I will give them a mob and maybe an anubias plant .
I have read the article but not all the corydorass species are the same I guess , some are a little bit harder.
@francois mtl, did you breed cory metae?

[francoisMtl]

Yes I just did that! Well they breed for me...
Fry are growing up with some other cory fries, I put some pictures in this post ( http://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/view ... &start=100 ).
Good luck with your breeding project.
