| Feed with sinking flakes, pellets or freeze dried food. Not hard to keep. A small, smooth substrate is required with a few caves for hiding. | |
| BREEDING | |
|
Not easy. A ratio of two females to each male helps. The simultaneous addition of freshwater and reduction in temperature can
often start spawning. Corydoras usually breed in the early morning or evening. The eggs are held in the pelvic fins of
the female until she can find a spot to place the eggs. To initiate breeding, remove around 70-80% of the water. Slowly add fresh water back into the tank over the next few hours, but at a reduced temperature of about 21°C. | |
