Corydoras aeneus and paleatus are easy to breed as well as find in a local pet store. Check the sticky on breeding corys for more info. If you have any other questions we are here to help you. Best of luck with the corys.

The first cory that I spawned was pygmaeus, but as mark says Corydoras aeneus and paleatus are just as easy.

I've had Corydoras metae spawn for me a few times with no effort or intention on my part. just would find a couple new guys in there every now and then.

The first Cories I bred were Aeneus, shortly followed by Paleatus. I've personally found Paleatus easy to sex. The females seem to be huge. The males seem to be about half the size. I don't know if this is actually true. :?:
