    The bronze seem to spawn pretty easily and very readily!

    I think some of the others are more difficult though, but are still possible.

    Cheers

    They will breed

    Bronze corydoras will breed quite easily in a aquarium. They will normally spawn after you have done a water change with some cooler water. The eggs are normally deposited on the glass in a few different places. Mature females are wider and have a rounder belly than males.

    I think it would work if your closing quote just gets a / before the last bracket.... ie... [quote/]

    I woke up on sunday morning to the amaizing site.

    There was my pepper corry bussy planting her eggs against the front glass and all over the internal filter.

    wow there was a lot of it all over ..

    I took out the filter and put that in the small bleeding tank ..

    But now I have to do reading on what to do next.
