SandBkeeper Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I want to start a new breeding project eventually. I'm currently obsessed with corydoras, and was wondering if there were any good species to breed at the same time with corydoras? I'm thinking maybe a 20 g, any suggestions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJs Aquatics Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Guppies Endlers Bristlenose Plecos Swordtails Mollies Tetras but if you love the Cory’s you may get more enjoyment out of a species only set up or a biotope for your specific Cory. There’s a really cool tour of I believe alloddball aquatics that Cory from aquarium coop did that may give you some inspiration it’s very corydoras oriented… 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardedbillygoat1975 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Rainbow fish, hypancistrus plecos ( meaty diets like the corys), cooler water corys whiteclouds, cherry barbs, otocinclus, Neocaridina, angelfish (just need to stay on top of collecting eggs) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Random one here: African Butterfly Fish as their eggs float on top of the water and they hardly ever venture into the bottom half of the tank. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnebuns Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Out of my 29 gallon I breed panda cories, guppies, mystery snails and Japanese trapdoor snails. I think any live bearer and/or snails would work well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 My Pygmy cory and CPD breed in the same tank. They often actually zoom about together like one big happy family. I also have shrimp in there that breed way to much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing Matt Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Big thing would be to make sure there is enough dense cover to keep the corydoras from eating any fry or eggs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charleston Cory Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 My friend in Florida also is obsessed with Corydoras and has had success breeding them. He also breeds guppies. He has commented to me that he has had his most success with Corydoras with guppies in the tank. He believes the guppies have a calming effect on the Corydoras. This is what I was told and would have no reason to doubt him, but I will chat with him further and fill you in. Best of luck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPECTRE Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Have to agree with the livebearers. I have Corydoras in a tank with Mollies and Platys and they do great together. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Sprinkler Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Guppies and cory go well together. Guppies are more top feeders, snails and cory will compete for food on the bottom. Swords believe it or not will nip at the cory, sometimes causing fin damage. Guppies are good lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that the active and social guppies do calm the cories, but hormones may also play a role too. Guppies are constantly breeding and that means they're releasing hormones. Some people (myself included) believe that those hormones in the water will help induce other fish in the same tank to breed too. It is not uncommon for people to report that one fish has spawned, and then another species in the same tank will spawn right after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
