My two corys are my current favorites. Is there a way to find out what sex they are?
I thinking of having a ten gal tank with just corys in it.
Do differnt cory types 'mate'? Should I only have one type of cory in the tank?
Is there a site on this forum to study about how to breed corys?
Thanks

female corydoras catfish are deeper bodied and broader than males, males are relatively slim in comparison.

Generally speaking, different types of cories do not breed with each other. There have been few "successes" when it comes to corydoras hybrids, and I wouldn't try personally, as imo its best not to hybridise.

You can have different types of cories in the tank if you wish, however 10g is quite a small tank, and since corydoras catfish will probably breed best in larger groups, you may want to have just one type to avoid overstocking.

Here is an article for breeding corydoras catfish: http://www.fishforums.net/The-Breeding-Of-...sh-t165155.html
