I never knew this about Corys...

According to http://www.theaquariumwiki.com/Corydoras ...

"Spawning behaviour of Corydoras

The male will try to get his body in front of the female whilst she is on the substrate. He positions himself midway across her head in a classic 'T' shape with his anal opening against her mouth. If the female is interested the female attaches her mouth to the male's genital opening and directly drinks his sperm. The sperm pass through her intestine and are discharged together with eggs into the ‘pouch’ formed by her pelvic fins."

 

Hahahha, good one Jenn.

Not yet. I haven't heard anything.

 

throwing in my 2cents. They are all doing great, trying them out on eating tetra prima granules so if that goes well then they good to go. They still fairly small so will have to go into a friendly community tank

Cool! I have angels, swordtails and sterbas cories All bought this year in Jan, so all still babies. The biggest angel is not even 5cm yet. I'm glad you're concerned about your babies and I promise I will take very good care of them!

 

Thank goodness people don't mate like that...
