Lexi B Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I've got a small school of false juliis and recently have noticed a (what i believe to be) male cory constantly wiggling very rapidly at the female cories, following them about and rubbing his body against hers. I'm not familiar to cories, and have only had these guys for a month, but this new behavior is new. I'm curious if maybe it's spawning behavior?

Odd Duck Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Sounds like courtship to me! And I’ve recently had bronze cories producing loads of eggs and they’ve doubled in number since I got them about 6 weeks ago without me actually trying to save eggs (long story).

CorydorasEthan Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I second @Odd Duck that is cory breeding behavior. The males will chase the females until the females accept and then they get into their T-position to fertilize the female's eggs. The female will then clean a spot on the glass walls or plants or something in the aquarium, and lay the eggs there. You can scoop out the eggs with your finger (careful although they may be sticky, they are quite easy to smash) and put them in a small aquarium, container, or breeder basket (preferably not the ones that have a mesh basket with a frame the fry, once hatched, can get trapped in the frame) where the adults and other fish can't eat them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
