Cory Breeding............help?

[guppy!]

what is the right temp for a albino cory to breed in? can they breed in a 60 gallon community tank?

Mine breed fine in around 25 degrees (don't know exact number because my thermometer recently broke )

They will breed fine in that tank, just do a cold water change, around 10% and then they should start the breeding process. I always do my water change in the morning before the lights come on or late at night just before they go off and I get eggs around 90% of the time.

Hope this helps

Cories will breed in any temp between 24 and 28 C in any tank. If they are healthy fish they will spawn every 2-3 weeks on the glass, plants or ornaments. I know this as I have bred cories and would like to again one day as it's fun to watch the young cories grow up. The only problem with breeding cories is that you can't just leave them in the tank as other fish will eat the eggs and raising them yourself is quite hard as I found. I started with about 30 newborn fry and only managed to raise 4 to the 1" stage.
