Cory fever!

After 2 weeks of reading posts here and corresponding with Ian about breeding my sterbai's & ehrhartdi's I just can't get enough cories. Last night at our Local fish meeting I bought a bag of 6 albino aeneus & my friend brought me 6 nice adult c. rabaulti! Now if I can just get all 4 types to breed! They are all in their own 20 gallon tanks by themselves! Waiting for barbatus to come in too! Going to another clubs auction on Saturday to hunt for more cories!
Question: How hard is it to breed c. rubaulti? Any different parameters than sterbai or ehrhartdi?

Both fish below are sold under the Name C. rabauti, which one do you have?

C. zygatus is a larger growing species around 70 mm[body length], the diagonal stripe has always got a metalic sheen. If your fish is this one there is a spawning log on it at
http://www.corydoras.pwp.blueyonder.co. ... _log_5.htm

C rabauti has a stripe that has a matt black look [no metalic sheen] and only reaches 55 mm [body length] and has more intence colour.

They look just like the bottom one. The stripe does have a matt black look with no metalic sheen.
Thanks!
