Breeding My Cory's

[charlton]

After noticing my cory jullis chasing each other round last week I done some research and alot of people seem to think this was to do with the spawning process. After reading more into it and learning about the T position I noticed them doing this last night so hopefully I will be noticing some eggs shortly, how long after the T position would I start seeing some eggs ? Also I've read that they lay their eggs on the glass and on plant leaves, mine seem to be swimming round looking for somewhere to lay them, what would happen if they couldn't find anywhere suitable and is there anything I could change to help them along a bit, I was thinking half a plant pot type thing on its side so they've got some hiding places ?

cheers

Hi charlton

First, let me tell you that your corys are probably C. trilineatus, not julii. This is a common mistake that most lfs make. They are excellent fish and some of our members have successfully bred them.

To get you as much information as possible let me first suggest that you look at a couple of threads. Then, please feel free to come back and ask questions here.
