What kind of Corydoras is easy to breed?
C. aenus, C. paleatus? I've got a 45liter. Its in there i'm going to breed them.

Both aeneus and paleatus are easy to breed, including albino versions. Mostly all of these fish in shops are captive bred and will spawn easily.
You will require optimum water conditions, the fish mature and well fed and males and females (obviuosly) Mac.

Thanks.. I think aenus looks best! I'l try those

If you are looking for the easiest of all Cory's to breed and they don't require very much room then look no further than C. pygmaeus

They got C. hastatus at my lokal pet shop. Is this simular to the C. pygmaeus?

If i'm going to breed Corydoras, should i use a 45 liter: 60 x 30 x 30 or a 19 liter :
35 x 30 x 20?

C. pygmaeus are often called C. hastatus bu the trade. C. hastatus are somewhat more delicate and require a little more care than C. pygmaeus.


C. pygmaeus female.


C. hastatus female.

The smaller tank would be an ideal size. Just add a 10 mm layer of smooth grain sand, a sponge filter, a clump of Java moss and you have all the requirements.

Thanks... Should I use the small tank if i'm going to breed aenus or paleatus as well?

I prefer to use smaller tanks for breeding and larger ones for raising fry.

Ian

Ok

Thanks for all the answers Ian!
