Unbelievable Results of Cory breeding project: Cory eggs & fry!

[@AquascapingCube]

This is long awaited update about my Cory breeding project! Remember to click a like if you enjoyed to video ;) Breeding Corys was my new year resolution, and today I will show you if my Corydoras Trilineatus are breeding. Do we have Cory eggs and fry? What I did to trigger my Corys to breed? Watch and find out!

Love ur video! I had problems with fungus with mine too, but I actually used a few cherry shrimp! They cleaned them and would only eat the bad eggs. I had a SIGNIFICANT increase on my hatch/survival rate. I harvest my eggs (mine lay on the glass) &I put the eggs in a ½gal tank w/a sponge filter &hung it on the inside of the breeder tank &used the h2o from that tank as well. This solved the fungus, temp, &h2o change difference. Then just add the shrimps. I must say it's adorable to watch the shrimp clean them like bouncing beach balls around lol feel free to reach out if u have any questions :) I remove the shrimp at the end of day 2 since I know exactly how long it takes to hatch. Hope this helps&I hope u give it a try! I had around 102 eggs hatch! I just leave the fry in that ½gal until they're big enough to go to a larger tank. &I only feed frozen baby brine shrimp &I have a very high success rate! I must say though, I absolutely love how u set up ur tanks!! What is the plant substrate that u put under the sand called? I am starting a new tank&was researching planting tanks &that's how I found ur videos! I subbed right away, looking forward to new videos! Keep up the good work! Best of Luck🤞🏻

Your Cory's are so CUTE!! I love them, i love them, i love them! I myself also have some and they are my little babies. 😄🤩

[@AquascapingCube]

Thank you!! 😊 Yes they are AWESOME!

[@monicaharmonica7152]

I’m so excited for you!! I just started breeding red sailfin corys and it’s so great watching the process. I haven’t tried the spawn mop yet. Mine have been breeding at the top of anubias leaves at the water surface. I also have been doing it in my main display tank so they to have a natural environment. Thanks so much for sharing your video!! 😄

[@AquascapingCube]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it :) Good luck with your red sailfins!

[@trak957]

What a great update Matt and who doesn't love baby fish of any kind, congratulations on your breeding :)

[@AquascapingCube]

Hi Tracy. True, baby fish are just wonderful :) I just can't get enough of those little guys.

[@iszsvnnyknight5688]

Very inspiring & informative. Those are really gorgeous corydoras

[@AquascapingCube]

Thank you!

[@seamus6994]

Very good video. I've raised and bred many types of Cory Cats. I use a NET breeding box for my eggs and Fry. I attach the box very close to my HOB (Hang on the back) filter. Allowing the water to flow through the netting material. But not directly into the box. I have great success that way. It keeps the eggs clean and oxygenated. I have Julii Cory Cats now. Not quite adult, but looking to breed them soon. Thanks for your update!

[@AquascapingCube]

Thanks! Yes, I heard that people go for net box. It helps a lot because you don't have to be worried about water changes etc. I will experiment with a lot of different approaches :)

[@Tang526]

I have been waiting 🎉! Thank you! I am waiting for my Similis to breed my 10 gallon tank is very similar to your tank. Except I have a mystery snail as well in there. Also do you think you want to try an experiment? I heard ppl have kept neoCardinia shrimp with the eggs. They will eat all the fungus off the eggs and turn them as well. Maybe u can document it for us.

[@AquascapingCube]

Yes! I heard about this and always wanted to test that! Maybe I will try this one day (I have some shrimp). When I do, I will definitely create a video about that ;)

[@DashDrones]

Mine started breeding immediately, they're the best! They need perfect water conditions, I never change the water and they absolutely love it!

[@AquascapingCube]

That is awesome! Yes, Cory breeding process is so cool, never gets old!

[@DashDrones]

@@AquascapingCube yeah although I'm nowhere near as organised as you. My Rummy Nose tetras hunt down the eggs nearly immediately. One day it'll happen naturally 🤞

[@deborahst.9162]

Even though it's been a year since you've did this video out I'm glad I found it. Been trying to breed my Corey's but without much luck. Made a mistake of getting a all cotton mop and cutting it down. Cotton fiber all over in my tank had to change everything. Can I wait till the barometer drops and try it again.

[@AquascapingCube]

Great! Good luck! I'm still breeding different kinds of Corys :) Recently - pandas!

[@Ebakyza]

4:54 "eggsacktly the moment" I don't know if this was intentional, but this is what I heard haha

[@AquascapingCube]

It wasn't intentional - but it's perfect! LOL! :D

[@chrisaqua5751]

Great result! Congrats!

[@AquascapingCube]

Thank you :)

[@ct2136]

Great step by step video. I'm trying to breed hasbrosus cories, they are fun but not interested in breeding.

[@AquascapingCube]

Thank you! Yes, I always wanted to get habrosus! But they were not available in my area for a long time. Now I know where to get them, but don't have the tank for them :) But that might change soon :P

[@fishismyhobbyofficial]

congrats my friend, I'm so happy for you to the result, have a great weekend, like 26

[@AquascapingCube]

Thank you :) I’m glad you liked it :)

[@TheHighJeff]

i got 2 cory's today in my 110 liter tank and the only thing they did is sit by eachother and digin the sand under the rocks and i love them

[@joedirt5711]

I removed plants in my panda cory tank and they started dropping all there eggs in a spawning mop. This looks like it would be similiar thanks for the footage 👍

[@AquascapingCube]

Sounds great! Fingers crossed!

[@marchean83]

My black corys mated on a regular basis with me doing ansolutely nothing. I loved watchig them wiggling around.

[@duktrilfromsouthafrica]

Triggering mine, I feed them frozen bloodworms once a day supplemented with some hikari pellets in the morning to fatten them up. I keep from doing water changes (check parameters often) so that i don’t “unnecessarily” trigger them. I have RO water that I use for water changes. With them, temperature doesn’t matter too much. New, clean, softer water… and increased flow will help a lot!

[@sorinandreipopa8860]

hello. can you please tell me what grain does the substrate have?

[@AquascapingCube]

Hi. It was 1,2-1,8mm river sand.

[@sorinandreipopa8860]

@@AquascapingCube if the substrate is 0,8-2mm is good? and how tall need to be?

[@AquascapingCube]

@@sorinandreipopa8860 Yes, it will be fine. 2cm of it should be ok.

Been trying to breed sterbai for a year now done everything you mentioned in the video no sign of breeding. They are all about 3 years old I have 3 female 4 males and they refuse to spawn.

[@pinakimaity6040]

Can you show how to breed cardinal tetra

Beautiful fish, very nice arrangement, sub for you, hello welcome to yt👌👌👌

[@caewalker9276]

Thank you.

[@playbronze9755]

I’m getting 9 corydoras and I’m wondering if a 151 liter tank is good for them?

[@AquascapingCube]

It should be fine. In tank of that size I would go for 7, but 9 should be ok.

[@empressd7]

Can someone please tell me how to get my corydoras to STOP spawning? They lay eggs every single week and sometimes there's hundreds! I have no place to put the fry.

[@Chik_plays]

Use low water pressure filter

[@empressd7]

@@Chik_plays I'll put my filter on the lowest setting and see if that helps. Thank you!

[@pet-cave]

Separate the male and female

[@empressd7]

@pet-cave I have 10 corys since they're shoaling fish so you can't just keep them by themselves

[@CoreyPelletier86]

Are you using well water for your water changes? The temperature difference could be sign making them to breed 🤔

[@Apoeim]

i wonder how old they are and what about size? i have some and i cant wait to see spawning answer me please😅

[@AquascapingCube]

I had them already for 1,5-2 years. They were about 5cm, females were a bit bigger. Good luck with your breeding project!

[@Apoeim]

@@AquascapingCube thank you ❤️

[@VLOGONZZ]

Make and update for the nano shrimp tank

[@AquascapingCube]

I will. But this tank doesn't change that much.

[@gayefanner731]

Please!

[@duktrilfromsouthafrica]

My trillineatus cories have started laying eggs just two weeks ago after i grew them out for a while. They have not stopped spawning haha. I have to remove 50-100 eggs at least 3 times a week😭 and there’s only 5

[@AquascapingCube]

Yes, once they will start - there's no stopping them :)

[@lucabeneduciify]

How long did the eggs take to hatch?

[@AquascapingCube]

It takes around 3-4 days. It's temperature dependent, higher temp equals faster hatching time.

[@ng671]

Hello i have julii cory also. How to identify male and female?

[@AquascapingCube]

Females are noticeably rounder (fatter:P) and a bit bigger in general. It's best to look at them from the top, you will see the difference around abdomen area.

[@58MrMike]

Unfortunately, blackworms are hard to get and very expensive now. My fish breed much less. I do well with hydrogen peroxide as an anti-fungal

[@martincregg]

Ecellent

[@AquascapingCube]

Thank you! :)

[@tfanichong9340]

Will leopard cory eat their eggs?

[@AquascapingCube]

Yes, there is good chance. Unfortunately most of Corys will eat their eggs :/

[@Trojan0304]

Added water & 4 pandas now 24

[@thegoodthieves]

My Cory Doras breed without any effort, it's amazing

[@AquascapingCube]

That's awesome!

[@EricSolomon462]

What’s your setup? Been having such a hard time getting mine to breed

[@thegoodthieves]

@@EricSolomon462 I had no intention of breeding them, noticed some eggs and tried collecting them to put in a hatchery but then the snails got in and ate them so I gave up. To my surprise about a month later I saw the first baby fish, then there were 10 babies so I upgraded from a 10 gallon to a 30 using the syphon to move the babies. The adults started laying eggs and again and the snails ate them. I raised the temperature from 72 to 78 and they stopped breeding so I'm inclined to suggest a lower temperature to breed them. I've got no more advice because I didn't intend to breed them so took little notice of the parameters other than temp. Best of luck
