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 :evil:

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.
