You wont sex them at 1 inch, well not for certain anyways. Usually from above the female will be more plump round the belly region and females tend to be larger than males. One of the easist to breed IME

The male/males will tend to chase the female around but tbh you will know when they start to breed, ive had cory's breed from around 10mnths old to give you some sort of time frame

Hi CTlovesKS

Getting corys to spawn is often the easy part. It's raising the little fry that is more difficult. Here's an article that will give your some information to get you started. There's also a video in the pinned area that you might find interesting.
