Assuming they really are 2 males and a female, you do have the proper ratio for breeding. These are a fairly common Cory here in the US so spawning would most likely follow the standard procedure. Just search this site, the forums here or the rest of the net for elaboration on that.

i think that c. schwartzies are not regular corys if you know what i mean...
in five days from now, i will have 4 schwartzies, and then i will try to sex them...
i didn't find any info on the net about breeding schwartzies so i will ask anybody that have exp in breeding them to give me some instructions...
i know that i must make soft fresh cold spring water when i make water change, and i know that breeding will happen in the dark... but i need some exp advice... what to look about, and stuff..
thanx hor reply!!
