I have been doing this for 40 years and still have to make tweaks as fish refuse to cooperate with my plans and intentions. It is nice to see someone that is not afraid to show things that were perhaps a bit short of success. You are one of the few CZcamsrs I watch and enjoy. It's nice to come back to older videos because I am never done learning and love new ideas. Thank you.
Than you for sharing this process. I agree that maybe letting the tub season and grow alge. Maybe even place some seasoned structure and plants in the bottom like they had in their tank? I am looking forward to the continuation of this process.
We have about 75 cory's in 16 different varaities.
Here they spawn eggs most of the time when the waterlevel gets lower and the spraybar comes above the waterlevel what mimics rain on water. Mostly they lay their eggs about 3 or 5 cm below the waterlevel on the windows or something that hangs there vertically like the thermometer or the waterinlet.
I roll the eggs from the windows and put them in a seperate little tank of 20 liters with an airpomp.
The first month we give them Artemia and Dapnia (dried powder)
This way is very succesfull for us and raised many cory babies.
“Remind you guys that I’m human too.” 👏 👏 👏
Thank you
@@KeepingFishSimple hi.
Form me.
1 female for 2 or 3 males..
Its difficult for the males..
Thanks for your video.
My problem is: i am french and you speak so speed (for me lol😉)
😊
Thanks for reminding me I was starving
@maryseloyer hit the playback on your settings and go to .50 that might be more your speed mate.
I'm a newer subscriber, great video. I like it when creators/breeders show their setbacks and hurdles. Great learning opportunity for you and your viewers. Makes me want to get some tubs and corys and try it. I'm glad you decided to release this one.
I love the long videos bro🤘🏾
Keep it up.
I’m glad you shared this. Thank you for the opportunity to learn. It’s all a learning process.
Thanks so much for the book reference 👍🏼
Continue to share your knowledge bro. Best of luck to you on getting those Cory to breed🙏🏼
I think it was a GREAT idea! Looking forward to seeing how you refine this new breeding method:)
I'm really excited about your triumph with the black venezuelans!! That is so exciting!!!
Very interesting video. Very useful information. Keep up the good videos!❤❤
Great learning process! Not a fail in my book, not if you learned and grew as a fish keeper from it. I’m just a beginner with some bettas and I appreciate your videos a ton. I’ve definitely learned a lot from watching this channel :) Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much
@@KeepingFishSimple I love your vids
I really enjoyed watching this , what an amazingly interesting hobby this Fishkeeping bizzo is , look forward to seeing how many BV's hatch !!👌
I love that you include success and failure. Both are important to the scientific process, but one tends to get more attention than the other.
After watching this I set up a bin myself got to say it has worked really well for my peppered Cory's
Love the vid mate !
I love your vids and i just started watching them today
Great videos. Attemps and fails are part of the hobby! I actually having trouble breeding the black schultzei as well!
Excellent job
Very interesting video, wasn't a total failure. It's always good to try new things and experiment. Well done.
Thank you
You've gone from 12k Subs to 66,000 keep up the great content! Im learning a lot :D
Thanks!
To breed in them bins, I think you should put them outside expose to the sun full of rain water and let them bin age with guppies so alge grow on the walls.
I said guppies to stop mosquitoes and produce waste to activate formation of alge, so molly or platy will work too.
That is my idea, please don't try painting your bin first most paint are smooth and second toxic. Alge texture and not toxic. I don't think you want to kill your breeders.
All the best with your breeding, you are doing good.👍🐟🐟🐟
That's actually what I'm doing right now, this cold snap on my poor guppies, though.
Thanks for the advice
Chur chur mean video. Gave me some great ideas
Nice video man j love your channel
I just purchased several Venezuelan black corydoras and it was a choice between that and the albino. I love the blacks and whites together and in my opinion they compliment eachother in a community tank. Thanks for these informative videos you really love fish! ❤ 🐟
Sweet vid! Even though it wasn’t a total success, I think it was super informative.
Thank you!
Another great vid bro!
Thank you
Interesting video. Thanks.
That's the fun of it❤😊
Awesome informatibe vid man! Wish you have a more succesfull spawns soon. Cheers!
Thank you
Nice system bro👍
Thank you for sharing this video
Thanks!
Awesome video bro 👍🏻
I have a colony of the 9 Schultzei Black Cory's that spawn for me every few weeks. They are a line bred version of the C. Schultzei, which the non black variety looks very similar to C. Aeneus. I keep them in a standard 20g High tank. They do lay pretty good batches of eggs, but they like to spawn on vertical spaces. Very often times my will spawn in the corners of the top of the tank. In addition to the corners of the tank they love to spawn vertically on jungle vals and another hornwort like plant I have floating in the tank. I would say they spawn in the afternoon, but I haven't found any correlation between waterchanges, but feeding heavy amounts of bloodworms does help a bunch. I find Hikari to work the best as it is a smaller bloodworm. I like to feed two cubes a night- always excess food. Catfish love to eat! I only have a sponge filter, hornwort, jungle vals, and java moss in the tank, on sand. When I do get eggs, the problem isn't hatching the eggs, I have issues raising the fry. Really happy to see another person breeding corys with passion! I never see anybody doing anything with them.
Thanks Zach
To make it all even better, just a few hours after I made this comment my colony spawned! The method I am trying is a the half gallon hang on back fluval breeder box on my 75g tank so I can feed a lot and heavy without doing water changes. I had some success with it in the past, but the largest issue is time and keeping up on feedings
@Moses KongI I don't have a video because I haven't ever caught them in the act. Nor would think to take a video of it. I don't really take videos of anything.
My cories always eat the eggs 😞
i have the same problem as yourself my friend my tank is full of eggs getting them out & hatching is a nightmare i have almost given up i just buy them now can't be chewed , with the faffing about ,
An extremely interesting interesting video!
Bro respect you are doing what you love and making money out of it 😊👍
Thx for sharing
You culture your own white worms,
Sounds like a good next video, simple live foods.
I have white and Grindal worms would be great to see how you culture and feed yours.
Nice quick video 😉😉
Cheers
Just a quick question, What substrate do you use with your white worms and what do you feed them?
Cheers
Pro tip for black venecuela: Put a lot of anubia just floating they will place 90% of the eggs there and you just have to take out anubias when they are done orbefore if you notice they are eating eggs. Try this and thank me later ;D
Love your vids! You need a bigger space though my man. I get claustrophobic just thinking about trying to work in there haha
It's actually crucial that you cross pipes touching like that, as the corydora can feel the flow and vibrational current of the others and they can actually communicate through it.
Thanks for the info
I have been trying to breed my back corys for some time now… with no success. I don’t understand why some one would dislike a video like this…
Have you tried changing water level to breed Cories? I feel that with some it's more effective to allow the water to get low (~50% full or less) and then fill it up as they can feel the difference in pressure.
I bet turning off some water flow once the tank gets low might help too. Then blast them with some rainwater and turn all the flow back on. Maybe even add some extra flow too.
@@meminustherandomgooglenumbers I feel it's more the flow and water level. I don't think it has ANYTHING to do with rainwater bc I never use it and don't even change water much and never have had a problem
@@shadeaquaticbreeder2914 different cories have different triggers. And the rainy season - which is what most of them are looking for - does typically include some sort of rain. And after a rain, what happens? Yup that’s right! Increased water flow.
@@meminustherandomgooglenumbers that is true but what do people often tell you. You NEED rainwater and a lot of flow. That's not necessarily true bc I never used those.
@@shadeaquaticbreeder2914 I haven’t seen anyone say you need it. But I’ve seen a lot of people say they use it or they think it can help.
still lovin all ya vids bro ive been trying to finda way to breed platies on a budget in a 1 bedroom unit, i think the bin method is a greattttttttt idea! bunnings life haha
Your fish are the be vyour are the best at keeping this channel up and going. Keep the effort up
Thank you !
Do you breed guppies!!!!!!?
You could try laying white or light coloured tiles at the bottom of the bins to add visibility to the adults. Its something I've seen done by a few other individuals.
Yes ! Thank you
Corydoras❤
How are you set up 1 quarium?
I found the most awesome bins. At an online restaurant supply house.
I'm new subscriber..I'm from India
I keep corytanks at max of 30cm tall, helps as the fish don't have to swim to high to Breathe
i just ordered some pandas and worm cultures off ur website
Sending out tomorrow!
i used to have a lot of success with corys laying eggs on broad leaf plants and i just removed the leaves to to hatch out the eggs
I had some sterbai in with some discuss ph 6.5 i bred them by accident when i was feeding live white worms and doing weekly water changes with ro water.
cory gang😎
You should try a light sprinkle of sand in the bottom of the tubs as a lot of Cory's like to spawn under some sand

Awesome video. I love the long format. Try putting on some Barry White for the fish, half of the human babies conceived during the 1970’s were the result of his music being played. It may just work for cory cats as well.
Thanks so much Darryl
The awesomeness of this comment is not appreciated here. I would also add Al Green and Marvin Gaye to guaranty 100% success.
I've just started breeding my bronze corys. They've always laid viable eggs I've just never let them grow before because I didn't have anything to do with them. Now I'm selling them to a local fish store
Just a question as I am attempting to breed Sterbei at the moment is your room heated or do you not use heaters for your Corys
Hi God bless all of y'all and always know that God and his son Jesus both love all of y'all in Jesus mighty name I pray Amen.
Hey bud, good effort, and it always worth trying something new!
In regards to the origins of schultzei black corydoras I made a video on it 👍
C. Schultzei AKA Black Corydoras
Thanks so much! Already checked out the vid
Its a bit like breeding the bettas in the small plastic container but at a larger scale
Thank 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟👍
Will newly hatched corydora fry be ok living in treated water instead of parents tank water? Thanks.
Live food is a must for breeding corys
Not all cories. I spawn aneau, paleatus, Panda and Skunk (Rabauti) on freezdried and prepared foods. Many others will spawn on prepared foods also. The important thing it to feed them, not rely on them just eating out of the remnants of the tank.
Wow never even crossed my mined.
hi I need some advise im trying to.spawn my gold lasers and everything I do isn't working what are there trigger point please
Is that an external breeding box from Marina on the left? :) I saw it in the beginning of your video and I'm very interested in your experiences with it.
My Black “Schultzei’s” breed like guppies. Every 2 weeks or so. I guess I’m lucky. I keep good water quality, good food, etc. I don’t use RO - my water is about 200 tds, Ph 7.4. Good luck 👍🏻👍🏻😉😉
I’ve watching these how to vids! Hav you tried lining the trash cans with white thrash bags or painting them white?
Hi Great vid!
how big is your betta grow-out tanks?
I have had no issues with breeding Cories. I also apparently keep having bristle nose plecos. Just found a lot of babies again.
i can breed bristle nose plecos no problem hundreds of them but cory's it's the messing about with the egg's water changing every day can't keep up with it i have 2x tank's to keep big one's as well as my own job not enough hour's in the week for me to have spare time if am messing about water changing every day just for eggs i sell my pleco's to my 2x local pet shop's or swap fish
Love ure videos leaning a lot ,but what the best fish u have breed
ありがとう
I just bought 15 Venezuela Cory's.
You make breeding looks easy but I can't even breed bettas 😂
I mean bettas aren’t the easiest fish to breed
@@aje8790 That's true. I've been trying to breed my betta pair for almost a month.
@@abdulazeez6088 Oh also a month is a very short time in breeding fish, my number one suggestion with people trying to breed fish is to be patient and just focus on keeping the fish happy
They were sold to me as proven pair and have spawn a couple of times
@@abdulazeez6088 Well good luck

800+ Cory's in a 5000 liter bin,
Sounds like a large breeding project.
Hahaha
Eu tô preparando as minhas albinas
Great videos as always. Just a suggestion, it would be really cool / super helpful, if you could do a quick rundown of the water quality that is used in these breeding videos. You did this in your Tetra breeding video but, I didnt see one here. I think your content is great.. just a little something to help enrich the content. Would be nice to see on all your videos, the following:
* PH
* Temperature
* Hardness
For most COries - pH - 6 - 7.2 Hardness minimal. Temp, depends on species, 22 - 26. What seems more important in triggering a spawn is a cooler water change. A big water change, not a pissy little 25%. Like 75% and refill with cooler water. Not cold water, but a couple of degrees cooler than the regular keeping temp.
maybe put some katapa leaves or eldercones inside. Elder cones got my corys going in 2 weeks.
How do you breed corydoras punctuates?
Do they need a heater ? What temp ?
From what I understand is the male deposits the milt infront of the female while she has eggs held in her cupped analfins and as she releases water through her gills it pushes the milt towards the eggs and she will swim forward making sure the milt comes in contact with the eggs before she sticks them to a surface.
For further tries get white tubs/trash cans they work way better or if you can't find any get white marine fish safe paint and paint the inside.
Hey! Sorry to intrude, wanted to ask what’s the benefit of the pail being specifically white colour?
@@fawnclaudia No problem. The white tubs or paint hides the eggs better, at least it seems that's what it is. I've had much better success with little egg praydation when I use white tubs or with the inside painted white.
@@seangere9698 oh so that’s what it is! Thanks for the reply
@@fawnclaudia Not a problem and any time.
My Corydoras aeneus started spawning after I simulated rain...I had two males and one big female. And I watched the whole spawning, very different type of spawning...the female deposited/stuck the eggs(held in her pelvic fins) on the glass, I couldn't find any eggs on the plants. Corydoras aeneus are also from Venezuela.
Super interesting video, Ive just gotten into corys myself and have hatched my first 5 venezuelan babies. Just a thought, would it be worth trying them in a white tub instead of black?
Fish always do better in a darker background. Less stressful on them to match it in colouration.
Have you thought of using white tubs?
Eres el mejor! Saludos desde México 🇲🇽
Una pregunta, dónde conseguiste esos libros?
en su website hay un enlace para comprarlo (Y)
Yo pedí el mío en estos días llega
Porque lo busque en Amazon y realmente esta agotado
What about painting yogurt and buttermilk mixture so it will grow moss is that a possibility
Like you said, this is biology. The failed experiments are nearly as valuable as the successes! They're every bit as educational, and I hope you know we appreciate the content and information!
Thank you
Hello, like))
And they are ok without a heater ??
Cheap way - good idea.
Thanks!
❤
Thanks Liam
Well done on your success. I’m an Aussie that saw your videos maybe 2 years ago and you have come a long well. Good stuff
I think it was this video that had a tank with dozens of angels in the background. I thought we were only to have just a few fish per tank. How can I accomplish this? Thx!
Excess filtration and water changes.
kitchen trash cans are typically white, so maybe that could help? But, no, this video was NOT a waste of time. I see so many videos that talk about breeding corys, but I hadn't seen much about the behaviors... so thank you!
Same as goldfish and koi
Did you use new sponge filters or cycled sponges? If they were new, the ammonia levels could have interfered.
I highly doubt he'd use new sponge filters. What a ridiculous comment.
7:09 looks like new in the box. Video doesn't show him put them in. Either way, it was a question, calm down.
@@ThereHeIsOutdoors Have u never heard of seeding new sponges/filters with old filter/tank media? Instantly cycled tank. The man's a pro, he wouldn't be that senseless and reckless to try and chance it with new filters.
@@jamesholmes2082 Trust me, it has been done, even by "pros". I have spiked a few times when introducing fish to tanks that I thought were cycled or had a new filter as I had nothing else at hand. And I have bred just about everything with fins.
Hai സൂപ്പർ മീനുകൾ 👍❤️😁
Find white tubs maybe?
Yes
