How To Breed Corries

[fish_keeper2]

i have a 29 gal with 2 angels(will be 3 eventualy), 1 rubber lip plec, and 5 albino corries. i was wondering what i should do to induce breeding behaviors into my corries. also will it effect my angels or the plec at all? your help is much appreciated.

BTW-If you were to get three angelfish, wouldnt one get picked on?

thanks. will that affect the angels or the plec at all?

btw its a hit or miss with the angels. i just got the 3rd one last night and they all get along but if 2 form a pair i will rehome the 3rd to be on the safe side.

I am not sure how hardy they are...To breed cories you basically need to lower the water level alot, do a massive water change with 10 F colder water and make the water have a pH of slightly acidic.

The only real problem would be the water temp...it would be too cold for your fish I think.

Do you have an empty 10 gallon tank? A 10 gallon would be perfect for breeding cories. You could use a 5 gallon also.

i dont have any empty tanks atm. i have 2 tens that will be empty eventually so i could use them once they are.
