Breeding Pygmy Corys

[kizno1]

would you be able to breed pygmy corys in a 5 gal tank?
if i can how many should i get?
and will they eat there own fry?

I have never bred pygmy cories before, but they would be similair to other cories.

A 5 gallon would be fine. I found when I bred my cories they would only eat the eggs, but wouldn't bother with the fry. I used two males and one female.

i cant really sex them so how many do you think i should buy
and how big do they have to be before they will breed

Well I would go with 4-5 then. The females will be a bit larger and plumper then the males. In most cases when you buy pygmy cories at the LFS they are already full grown. But I would say around 1/2" Someone may correct me on that because I am not totally sure when thet are sexually mature.
