My experience with these has been, after they reach maturity and all display that black stripe under their bellies, they will lay eggs every day non stop. Males will chase after the females whenever they're not eating or taking a nap. These are sold very young. If you have trouble getting them to spawn even after using all Mark's tricks (strong flow, 25C, soft acidic water) your fish haven't reached maturity. I have these in a 60 litre species tank with a HOB filter and a sponge on the intake. 3mm gravel as substrate. Can verify they dont eat their eggs or the young.
Had you kept them with shrimps?
I have a group of 27, most of them are more than a year old but no success in breeding..
You're my new favourite RUclipsr, thank you for sharing your experience. Keep up the good work 😊
Thanks for watching.👍😀
Just got 6 of these little guys. They're so funny to watch. Planning on getting 6 more. Maybe I'll try breeding them :)
Years ago I’ve bred Neon Tetras, Guppies, Swordtails, and Mollies. I never had success with Catfish. Your tutorial has encouraged me to try again. I didn’t have the right setup back then. Thank you for sharing! Enjoyed watching!
This is BRILLIANT footage! I've just noticed a few baby Pygmy's in my tank, and I have only had the adults for 2 mths...I was so surprised. This video is perfect, thank you!
Hey Mark, another excellent video, it amazes me how great you are with breeding fish and your DIY projects, you are the Jack of all trades and I look forward to seeing every video of yours great job 😉
Thanks Lisa.😀
Thank God for this video. This is the only video I've found for PYGMY Cory's. Mine have just laid and recently hatched and I've been at a lost for what to do for such micro fry. Than you so much!!!!
One of the best explanations I've seen. Keeping these species with otocinclus and neocaridina shrimp. Added a power head for water flow and they're much more active.Thanks for sharing!
bruv,i am so loving these breeding programmes,i can not begin to tell you how much i have learned from you,also still think that your palud is the best that i have ever seen,it looks stunning,absolutly stunning,all credit to you bruv..also thank very much for the updates on all the other fry ,,particularly the plecos..bruv if you continue to push out this this quality of videos,your views are gonna soar..the very best..love and peace to you and yours..xxx..
Thanks for the message mate. 👍😀
very interesting and informative video Mark, loving🐡 these🐟fish breading 🐠 series videos you doing fight now👍
Awesome! Thank you so much sir! I love how you explain everything in such detail. Makes it look so easy, thanks again!
Thanks for watching . 👍😀
Your vids are nearly always good stuff, Mark. Cheers, Mate!
Was waiting for this video! Didn't expect it so soon! Thanks as always Mark for the great content and long vids!
Thanks for watching Ray.👍😀
Thanks to your videos again I was able to breed my pygmys!! Love your breeding videos still!
This was super helpful. I’ve been attempting to breed albino Cory cats and I have had a decent amount of luck, with 1 Cory from my 1st batch (hatched 2 months ago) and at least 30 from my second batch (hatched 2 weeks ago). I think I’m going to try what you did here with my albino Cory’s and hopefully I’ll have the same success you had
great video mark, looking forward to giving this a crack myself with all the tips/ideas in these videos!
Thank you for the excellent family friendly vids! I subbed the other day and have been binge watching .
Thanks for watching.👍😀
Great video Mark. Thank you very much. I like your system, an is 100% certified. You got them spawning in less than 30 mins. Wow!!!
I just got some Pygmy Coradoras this weekend. Fantastic to come across this video. Great stuff! Keep it up and can't wait to see the next video in this series. Definitely will be taking some RO water home tonight to drip into there tank :)
Thanks for watching.👍😀
Excellent informative video, again! You really make everything you show very interesting. I would love to see you breed the Chili Rasbora (Boraras brigittae) at some point, I love those fish.
Hi. Yes i plan to breed those at some point.Thanks for watching.👍😀
Thank you very much for sharing these information!! Very kind of you!
Thank's so much Mark, a really great interesting video. I'm going to give this a go. These are my favorite fish.They are so entertaining and pretty difficult to get hold of. I don't have access to RO water but do collect rainwater for use in the house and garden, so will use that. Living in South Wales the ph is only 6.8 so I don't need to change it much. First job get a sponge filter and cycle it. Again your videos are great, keep it up, you'll make fish keeper out of me yet.
Some of the best and most enjoyable fish videos on RUclips.
Thank you.
Excellent video, I was waiting for this kind of video, as corys are one of my favorite fish in this beautiful hobby. Can't wait for the update
Thanks for watching.👍😀
This is the one I've been waiting for. Thanks Mark. I've got 10 that I want to spawn.
Wow Mark talk about " on queue" :) Once again enjoyable and informative :)
Nice I always wanted to learn how to breed these great job mark
This is brilliant!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Kindest regards from South Africa.
Nice to see your vids.
I Breed many sorts of fish in my lifetime and quit 8 years ago.
After seeing your vids i want to start again.
Peace love and blessings from the Netherlands.
Thanks for watching.👍😀
I am trying to breed pygmy corydoras at the moment. Thanks for all the good info. Hope I succeed
Great detailed information!
Got myself 11 new Albino corydoras catfish today, set up on a nice black fine gravel... hope to breed them when they get bigger. Giving them some frozen blood worms to fatten them up. with 2 small guppies, a heater, sponge filter, and some nice leafy plants. Unfortunately difficult to see if they are male and female, and took all of what was in LFS. Thanks for your videos! At least my fish is generally doing a lot better these days, after I moved them from outside into an insulated wendy house fish room. :) Love this hobby!!
This is still one of my favorite video. Thanks for sharing 💗💯✌️👍
I'm about to try a spawn... excellent video Mark! Thank you.
That is so amazing. Very educational 💦
Superb. Love your videos. Keep showing more breeding videos. UR a great inspiration
Thanks for watching.👍😀
Ahhh you make it seem so easy, sensei!!
How's the breeding going?
Not very well so far tbh, starting to get despondent
Excellent video cheers, mate. got 9 of these little beauty's today :) got them in a heavily planted ta k with some botanicals to lower the pH for them :)
Hi mark, this is such an amazing footage! What is more amazing is that they're not afraid of your presence. Mine would dart straight back to their hiding spot as soon as there are movements outside the tank. Kinda sad to only be able to observe them from a distance. Thank you again for the vids and i wish you well in your future breeding projects.
MsR _ Have you thought about using dither fish? Mine got a lot braver after I added Rasboras.... I’ve also used guppies
@@scubageek17 Definitely sounds like a good idea but its currently fully stocked with cardinal tetras and otocinclus. Its ok though as long as they are healthy and thriving im good. Thank you for the suggestion!
@@kopichuchu My pygmies are my least shy cory, I think. My suggestion is to feed them something really good, such as frozen baby brine shrimp or daphnia, and park yourself right by the glass and don't move. They won't be able to resist coming for the food! If you did that several days in a row, or a few days a week, I'm sure they'd start to get used to your presence. 😊
What an opening! I love it
Great again Mark really enjoying the breeding series. You will have fry everywhere soon. Cheers
Thanks for watching.👍😀
Thanks sharing this. So awesome to see
I'll be watching this with interest. Thx
I had my first hatch of Cory spawn this evening. My first time with any fish. So excited. So far there are three and in the morning I hope to see more. I have the hatchery going so I will have food for them when they finish with the egg sack.
Really, really helpful info -- thanks!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for all the great videos...... MARK!
Keep up the great work..... Great Informative videos...... I will be trying some of your ways of breeding different fish.

Thanks for watching.👍😀
Excellent mark!
I know this is five years old, but, that was an awesome vid. Thanks.
Very enjoyable to watch. Thank you and God bless 🙏
Thanks for watching.
Good shots of C. pygmeus spawning. I never bred them but I used to breed C. hastatus by the hundreds every year in a permanent breeding colony setup which they happily shared with Cherry Shrimp. I used that same colony style breeding setup for C. habrosus but they were less productive. C. hastatus school well and aren't as shy as C. pygmeus usually are.
I thought your technique for adding the RO water was pretty clever of you.
Thanks for watching.👍😀
Great I Love Cory's and been waiting for you to do these.

Thanks for watching.👍😀
Fantastic Mark , I could watch them little fish all night .so interesting things ....
Thanks for watching.👍😀
My pygmy corys have been breeding everyday for 3 weeks now. They are breeding in a community tank. In the beginning I moved the fry/eggs to another aquarium, but now I just leave the fry/eggs in the community tank :P Great video as usual :)
Thanks for watching.👍😀
THANKS.....SO HAPPY,.... to hear, THAT these do not eat their eggs, or young. I've wanted some for a while now, BUT figured the EGGS would be so small, and hard to remove. SO, I'm setting up a TANK just for the pygmies. VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.
a joy to watch excellent as usual
Thanks for watching David .👍😀
You make great videos!
excellent vid , my water is 8.2 so i struggle with corys , get massive broods off pluchers , might try lowering with chemicals and give it a try cheers
So magical to watch! I have a group of 14 habrosus so I’m hoping for them to spawn too ❤️🐠
Nice video there mark very interesting
Looked like she first deposited the received milt from her mouth onto the leaf where she then stuck the egg. Maybe either the milt is the adhesive that keeps the egg stuck to the leaf or the egg is very sticky and stays on its own. More investigation and extreme closeups are needed. SCIENCE! hee,hee. Thanks so much for these breeding videos. I will eventually have more space and plan on doing some selective breeding. I'll definitely be adding an RO water maker then too.
Thanks for watching.👍😀
That's my theory too! (milt deposited on leaf before she places the egg.) We are hatching a batch right now.
Great video
Great vid' as usual.
Think they will lay in the plants all depends of where they are feeling safe i think. Awsome video sir thanks. Happy fishkeeping
Thanks for watching.👍😀
So amazing!!
Excellent video
Amazing footage! If you look very closely (try slow motion playback) at 12:38 you can see the female clean off a piece of subwassertang and actually see the egg being deposited!
Nice info video!
I love your videos Mark, always something different, and your enthusiasm is infective. Getting ready to breed some harlequins here, so any tips and tricks with them would be appreciated. Im assuming, they will be similar to the neons you bred, as they live in the same part of the world. But if not, at least Im learning. Love your work, keep breeding!
Hi Lynda. At tip for Harlequins use lots of plants as they lay the eggs on the underside of leaves ok. They don't scatter the eggs like neon's.Thanks for watching.👍😀
Thanks Mark! Youre a star! Will let you know how it goes. Thanks as always for your wide knowledge of the hobby... you are educating all of us.
Nice video. Thanks Sir. I do watch many youtuber's video but usually don't hit the like button!
Never collect rainwater from a roof. It most probably will be seriously contaminated with bird droppings. You can collect clean rainwater with an umbrella that you put upside down on top of a large bucket. Or you could spread a large sheet of plastic foil, suspended on four corners. Punch a hole in the middle of the foil and put a bucket under it.
Hi Mark, great video by the way as with all your others. Quick question if ok. Is the breeding process the same for corydoras habrosus as these pygmaeus? I've only got 6 and they're probably my most fun to watch in my community tank and currently they seem hard to come by. Sadly my Betta died recently so have an empty 38l tank which I could use to breed.
This is amazing. Always interested in food Corydoras videos! If you end up with any surplus I’d be after some. My LFS won’t get them in.
Thanks for watching.👍😀
My fav cory 😍😍
I will have to remember this when I get my room rebuilt!
Hi Mark, you've inspired me to get a couple of small tanks and have a go at breeding some of my fav species. I've been looking at nano tanks and they tend to come in 20, 30 & 60l sizes, which size should I get for breeding cardinal tetras and cory sterbaii, Thanks :)
Thanks for sharing, much appreciated. I also enjoyed your Otocinclus breeding videos. Would it make sense to keep pygmys and otos together?
I’ve watched this with interest several times Mark, as I really want to breed my Panda Corys. Would you recommend any different techniques for Pandas ? Or better still, show in a future vid ? 🙂👍🏻🤓
Wonderful - thank you! For your RO drip, will you continue this for the 3 days and siphon off tank water to maintain same depth?
Love It!!! I enjoy your excitement!!
Great video! I want to spawn them also☺️
thx alot 👍
Hi, I am enjoying your excellent videos and have just subscribed to your channel. I have a question about the pygmy coradora females: After the conditioned females spawn, how long do they rest before producing a new batch of eggs (or before trying to bring them into condition again)? I have been breeding livebearers up until now, but I would love to try breeding these cute little fish.
I've got a small group of habrosus corydora im trying this on this week. I've got them in a 20 long with a couple of guppies. They are wild caught so i have been letting the water evaporate for the last few months to simulate nature. My starting ph is 8.0 so I'm really crossing my fingers that the ph will drop enough to get them to spawn.
Do C. habrosus need similar conditions? I have habrosus. Beautiful videos all. Love your accent!!
Yes they will breed in the same conditions.
great job breeder
Hey Mark! What RO system do you use/recommend?
Great work Mark am going to give it a go av got 12 of them.Where can i get Ro water from
Your local fish shop will sell it. If not use rain water. Thanks for watching Alfie. 👍😀
Great footage of the breeding, nice one Mark. Are all corys the same to breed? I have some pandas I would like to try this with.
They're mostly the same . feed them well and then lower the water level and then after a couple of days add softer fresh water and refill the tank this should get them going.
Cheers mate, I will give it a go.
the one thing i was always worried when using rain water was what was on the roof of the fish and i did not use the first rain that can down as it had dirt and other things that could have killed all my fish and the other thing i did is run it though most peat

Masallah
👌
Would you suggest the same method for habrosus corys?
I've got 26, only had them around a week but quite a few of them look like little fatties. I'm going to put a mop in just incase but there is a lot of plants in my tank
Great video! I have 4 tanks. 15 gallon each tank. Sterbai, Eaneus, Julii's, Schwartzi's. Somehow none of them are breeding. I have done everything I can do. Any tips? Thank you!
This is the longest I've ever seen a corydoras actually not laying their bellies on the bottom. Had no idea they could hover.
Since stability is usually said to be the most important factor with water parameters, how do the sudden changes in pH and temperature affect the fish. Is there some risk of stress involved with this process?
Amazing job, love your videos. How did you go about making your trickle system there?
Hi Diago. Here's part 1 of the build video. You can find the other videos in my playlists. ruclips.net/video/zW-SaOsbfCw/видео.html
Thank you for the quick reply!
Pygmy Cory😍
I have some salt & pepper cory's (Corydoras habrosus), do they need the same as these pgymys?
I HAVE A 29 GAL. TANK. On the top I have about a dozen of silver hatchets. the temp is at 73. what should I do?
