How to Breed Corydoras Catfish! 

Don't feel bad about it, Jeremy :) We all make mistakes, I've even made that one lol. What matters is you're getting them friends, soon 😊😊 Cory love!

Have you found any friends for them yet?

@@gennasharples9409 yes I have. Sorry I didn’t see that someone replied

@@JillsFishRoom That was very sweet of you. I’m just realizing where my notifications are or I would’ve got back to you sooner

I totally forgot about that or I would of mentioned it in the vid! lollll Oh man, I really wish it was getting into winter right now though 😭

@@JillsFishRoom ik Florida is finally cooling down a little and its beautiful

for 2 reasons

Lol Gabriel, it's hard to get to them in time since they are soooo tasty 😆 live foods are definitely the go! Let me know if you're able to get some next time 😁

I would die if you got cories because of me 😭 I feel like a mesiah spreading their good word lolll

@David Joseph chill

Good to see you again as well! Thank you ☺️

@@JillsFishRoom can u do a breeding video on mollies , I bought 3 and they keep having babies lol

Mine are albinos as well :) My first corydoras 💙

Omg! I was just thinkin bout u the other day. I havent seen you in a while 😢 Seriously, do not feel bad. I truthfully had such a hard time keeping my fry alive for the first few months after my corydoras started breeding. They are definitely harder to keep alive than guppy babies smhhh

Let me know if you get some 💙 they are sooooo worth it!

Hey Elizabeth :) A blessing in disguise, I'd call it. Since albino/bronze/peppered cories are so cheap, you can EASILY make back your money selling back to fish stores 😄 I was even able to sell my cory eggs online to a local breeder. Lovely stuff 🥰

@@JillsFishRoom Unfortunately I think the eggs were either unfertilized or all got eaten up. 😥 Next time I’ll be sure to take the proper precautions and protect the eggs so I can have some babies. But thanks for your advice and I’ll keep that blessing in mind if/when they start breeding again :)

Don't feel bad! I had a huggggely hard time keeping my babies alive for the first few months. The big change was I started doing water changes with my main tank and I fed them an absolute TON of food. Also adding snails/shrimp to their tank helped clean up after them ☺️ I seriosuly hope you the best for your future fry raising 💙

I have my fingers crossed for you! :)

I put my money on the cories eating them lolllll. Mine will fully JUST spawn and then gobble up their own eggs. 😧 I've also seen my male cories trying to spawn together. They are such weird little things lolll

I have been feeding mine a homemade mix of Koi Pellet, an a Soy and Ground Fish powder. And it's working wonders. My Cory's have bred 2 weeks after I received them As for my

Definitely 😬 It was painful to bring myself to buy them but they are so pretty! My excuse is that its an investment. Hopefully I'll get babies soon 🙂🤞

Same

Hi Adam 😄 How cool! I think cichlids are neat, especially rams and discus. Im afraid of keeping them tho because I hear they can be a bit bitey, lol 😅 Your cories will love some more friends and maybe you'll end up with babies! Thank you so much for your kind words 🤩

@@JillsFishRoom Rams can be a bit feisty but they do well with angelfish and corydoras. That would be pretty cool to see them spawn. You are welcome and keep up the phenomenal fish keeping : ).

I am also wondering about this: In October 2022 I got 3 Albino Corys (all there were at the store), 3 weeks later I bought 3 more to have the standard 6. The odd thing is though they were all the same size when I got them, (very small a bit over an inch long) for the last few months they have settled into what seems to be their long term size. One is VERY big (for a Cory) and I have named him Zoyburg! - he is about 3 inches long, two are extremely small - still about an inch maybe 1.25 of an inch, and the other 3 are in the middle; maybe a bit over two inches. Recently they DID lay a bunch of eggs (probably the largest one - but did not see them doing it) after an evening of acting absolutely nuts. I was worried something was wrong; so checked the water and while nitrites were fine, nitrates were a bit high. So; did a 65% water change with usual chemicals, put a new zeo - carb insert in my AquaClear filter, and rinsed off several of my artificial plants. Then I turned off the light and covered the tank with a towel. The next morning I found 2 bunches of eggs on the glass of the tank . However I am currently not too excited as I don't think they will survive. I put them all into a breeding box, with airstones nearby. Am wishing I would have just put the airstone in with them as now (two days on) think they may be dead as they look white. What I need to know is HOW TO KEEP THE EGGS ALIVE TO HATCH. I know that I DID have to move them as the tank they are in (Vista 16 - BEST TANK EVER IMO) has 4 different types of fish, all very small - 6x Albino Corys, 6x Rio Tetras, 2x Clown Plecos, 2x Bristlenose Plecos. Everyone gets along very well and they are happy as can be, but I am sure they would have eaten the eggs had I not moved them. The Plecos love to hang out on the tank walls so they would definitely have found them! If anyone has any ideas re 1 - THE 3 DIFFERENT SIZES or 2 - HOW TO HATCH THE EGGS, please let me know. BTW The two tiny ones are not in any way weak or sickly. In fact they are the most active ones and love to swim quickly from side to side , or to the surface. I am wondering if that is why they stay so small - too much exercise! Conversely Zoyburg, the giant one, stays near the tank bottom almost all the time and spends all his/her time looking for food & eating it. They two in the middle are mainly on the tank bottom but swim a bit though not NEARLY as much as the two teeny ones. The teensy ones are a joy to watch, and I sometimes think that they think they are tetras, as they like to swim with them!

Omg please please do post a video! I just hit your bell icon. I swear I did that before bjt whatevs 🤔 I'm dying to see them 💙 Thank youu! 😘

thank you i will be posting a video as soon as they arrive

I appreciate you! ☺️ And yes, cories love boiled veggies. Although sometimes, it can take a day or two for mine to touch zucchini 🙂

Please do! They're so fun :)

Congrats on your spawn 🎉😄 also, welcome to my channel and thank you for subbing! Let me know how raising your babies goes 🙂

@@JillsFishRoom day 4 and still doing al 6 good.. I am more actifs on instagram so go see my tanks and setup if you want instagram.com/mertens67/

Such a sweet thing to say 😢 I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE!

My emerald green corys the males are darker in the females are more pinkish

You have great taste :) I've watched so many videos on pygmy cories, I love that some are mid-ish dwelling fish. I'm dying to get my hands on some 😁

I had my LFS get some ordered in this week, I'm picking them up saturday. Will be the first time I've kept them since about 2015 I think

In the past, I have kept hastatus, habrosus and pygmaeus and would absolutely love to breed them.

Hi Jeremy 😄 I totally feel for you. I'm limited to Australia for my fish. They have serious importation laws here so it's hard for me to find rare cories/other fish 😢

Just curious are we subscribed to each other ? Yt has been doing weird things lately .. 😳

Nooooooooooooooo. You work late now then! It's okay, ill make sure he has his vods on and plays a tribute to you every stream 🙇‍♀️

I'm kind of in the same boat with you right now :( I moved my corydoras aeneus to a new tank 2 months ago and they still havent layed eggs. I just need to find out what's stopping them, now 😵

Yes :) you can always add more cories later!

So I bought more peppered cories and I don’t think my first cories were peppered cories. Unfortunately I bought the new Coreys and a couple algae eating fish and had them in quarantine and the algae eating fish ended up being a Chinese algae eating fish and it killed 4 of my new Coreys. Only one survived. I should’ve paid more attention to what the fish keeper was doing normally I just let them do their thing so they don’t feel rushed

Oh wow! Congrats on your lil babies 😁 Theyre lucky they hadnt been eaten lol. I definitely think that cold water is the secret to cory eggs 🥚

@@JillsFishRoom there are no other fish in there except cherry shrimp and I dont think they are aggressive. I think there's about 8 babies now!!! Yeah cold water for sure , but no lower than 60 F.
