You can find several Cory breeding articles in Shane's world under "Reproduction articles". You'll also be able to find a lot of useful articles on Ian Fuller's, aka Coryman, site http://www.corycats.com.

i can help with the Barbatus as i have bred these quite a lot. They are quite easy, i keep the water at room temp and the P.H. at 7.0. The trick is to feed them up untill they are ready to burst

. Bloodworm does the trick, the first few times i spawned them i intense fed them for a week and then drop a third of the water and replace it with cold water and they usually spawn within a few hour's. Mine dont even need the temp drop now they spawn nearly every day now (randy buggers). Good luck

The gossei and the barbatus are not difficult to spawn. The julii and arcuatus are much more of a much more difficult. Kev has already listed some of the tricks of the trade. Give the corys a proper diet and regular water changes and the barbatus and gossei will spawn. You will have to work a little harder for the julii and arcuatus.
