Kat_Rigel Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 I'm trying to figure out if this mating behavior or a sign of distress in my corys. Corydoras aeneus. I don't have any experience breesing corys so its tough for me to identify. You can see two of them together at around the 15s mark. I have been petty much overfeeding the tank intentionally the past week or two due to an issue with my bamboo shrimp not eating properly; I think these corys look fat and healthy but if someone could confirm I'd much appreciate it. Haven't seen any eggs but its a planted tank so they might just be tough to see. I also don't see either of them holding an egg in their fins.

Dean’s Fishroom Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Well, if it is breeding behavior you will eventually see some eggs, probably on the glass and hopefully before the other fish eat them. They don't look to be in distress from anything. Also this could just be normal cory behavior. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy's Fish Den Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Looks like breeding behavior to me. They will lay eggs on the glass, as well as large plant leaves. If you want to you can scrape any eggs off and hatch them separate, as most likely in a community tank the eggs will get eaten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat_Rigel Posted August 24, 2020 Author Share Posted August 24, 2020 Thanks guys! Glad to hear its not trouble. I'll keep an eye out for eggs and see if I can keep them from getting eaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kat_Rigel Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 WE HAVE CORY EGGS! I REPEAT, WE HAVE EGGS!!! I am very excited to see if I can hatch these guys. I have been emphasizing a diverse diet recently and it looks like they approved. Thanks to the forum for all the fish knowledge that helped me get to this point! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
