Hi guys,

Got a some juvenile Corydoras cervinus yesterday and thought I'll share some pictures..

Standard Length about 2.5 cm and Total Length about 3.5 cm. Very active fellas after they settle down.

Cheers,

Benny,
I bred C. cervinus a while ago. Although it is a decent size fish, the eggs are very small and the fry are tiny. I kept C. cervinus with killifish. When I found the eggs in the spawning mops I initially thought they were killie eggs.

Any tips on breeding C. Cervinus? Largely change water and cool the temp?

I recently kept two cordoras cervinus with two sterbai, two duplicareus and three barbatus.

The larger cervinus bullied the smaller one to death, quite literally

Anyone else experience such behaviour?

Nice pics! The second pic from the bottom, with the three of them together, is especially nice. That's a pretty good looking species of cory. Never seen that kind around my local area.
