Triliniatus seem to be pretty much bulletproof. Lovely little fish too. Mine do breed after a water change in particular. Love the way they pile up in a lil dog pile in a corner
Thank you for this video. My Julii corys just laid some eggs, on some leaves and the glass as well. I am glad I found this video quickly. I managed to move a few eggs to a breeding box with sand and a few plants. Hopefully I will see a couple hatch and grow!
I recently moved some triliniatus eggs into a mesh in tank breeding box and they all hatched and are squiggling around, getting bigger by the day. Rolling in corys now!
Thank you for providing this well-done video. I was shocked last week to discover teeny tiny Corydoras flitting about the floor of my 20 gal planted. I have 6 adult juliis but have never seen any eggs so wasn't prepared for fry. Thank you for the detailed info on feeding them as I had no idea how to care for the babies. We shall see how well I do if they survive. Now I know to remove the eggs as soon as they are laid - if I can find them!
Removing eggs is probably a safer bet to produce more but it sounds like you have some that made it! In a planted tank they have a great shot of growing for a while without much involvement. I wish you and the babies good luck
My first experience with cory breeding was with some Trilineatus too but it wasn't too successful. But then my Sterbais started to breed and breed and breed and now I have been harvesting eggs and eggs and placing them in three different breeding boxes and still I miss a bunch of eggs. Now the Cory tank itself has all these juvies that are small versions of their parents, and now I also have roughly about 100 cory fry of different stages spread out across three breeder boxes in various tanks. And of course, my sterbais spawned again yesterday morning, giving me about 25 eggs.
Just got my first ever cory eggs…..they are julii. Moved 5 into a specimen container with an air stone on low. Thanks for the vid, it gives a good timeline. 👍
I realize this is an old video. I've raised a ton of different types of Cory's. For my 70 Gal. Tall tank, I decided on this Specie, the Julii. In my area, I was surprised how expensive they were. But I bought a small school of six anyway. What I know about Cory's in general. Most Specie breed in nature when the heavy rains come. All that rain drops the temperature several degrees. And it signifies plenty of water for the young and the Species. The next morning they begin to spawn. In my tanks, (I have a few to many). I can get many of them to Spawn every few weeks if I want. Just by adding a bit of cool water during a refill or water change. Next morning the eggs are everywhere. I just wish I could get my Otocinclus to breed. One of my favorite fish in my tanks.
I have bronze cories. They bred two times, both times were on a white pvc tube pleco cave. I fed them frozen tubifex and did a 25% water change with slightly colder water. Hatch time varies dramatically. My cories hatched within 2 days, while many hatch in a week
I've recently found a tiny young cory in my tank with cories and platies. I was shocked, because there were not many places to hide and grow to this size. I spend a lot of time watching them, but I've never noticed a cory fry (platies eat all cories' eggs), so I was screaming like crazy when I saw the young one😂
Thank you. My Cory julii... Or what i think are julii, area laying eggs almost every every single day beeb my small group of 5 or 6... Its been amazing. I lost many at first, but realized they weren't even fertilized. The next group grew fungus. I've wizened up and have all the boxes ticked. I just wasn't prepared for about 35 ALL healthy looking and seemingly fertilized eggs to happen within 2-3 days. I have a very heavily played tank and they clearly have a favorite plant to last their eggs on. But the leaves area quite long and often twist in the water flow. So they may have all been deposited within a day of one another. I'm THRILLED they're SO happy but one of my 2 quarantine tanks will now have to be home to my also accidental pleco babies(whom are mostly all quite large now... I had 150 so 6 in 5 aquariums isn't bad). I hope using a lot of your heart information will help me work this specific breed. Mostly I've found albino cory breeding and I only have 2 of those guys... And I'm sorry to offend anyone, but I find them quite boring compared to this breed that is ALWAYS so happy, cheerful and full of fun spirited energy. Thank you again. Great information!!
So I’ve watched most of your videos now and several of them over and over again. I have a request. Could you do a video about a breeder set up for smaller fish/novice breeders. Maybe including the tank to raise the breeders up to size, a breeding tank and how you would set up for mop spawners, egg scatterers, Apistogramma, Corydoras etc. maybe something that with minor tweaks to the substrate, filtration, lighting that would work for the majority of smaller fish. Plus fry grow outs and maybe some tools you find helpful along the way. If you had to start all over and but all new equipment, what would the set up be to breed the widest variety of fish with limited space? I hope this question makes sense.
Ashley if it is a big ask. I thought maybe you could do a playlist. First being the entire (basic) set up and then following videos breaking down each component including how’s & why’s. I really enjoy the detail you put into your videos. I’m being selfish because I am a novice to breeding fish and sometimes I feel like I should have had ‘that’ it really needed ‘this’. Even something as simple as a pipette. But like I said earlier a basic set up that would get someone going with most smasher, less difficult fish. I know It’s a big ask. I just enjoy how you break everything down.
Excellent video! Love your idea of sticking eggs on gravel pieces, I wonder if you cleaned the stones, did they come from your tank etc?! God bless your endeavours 🙏✝️. ✌️🇷🇺☮️🇺🇦✌️. 🙋♀️🤍🇮🇱✌️
I have a group of these that spawn all the time. I’ve never collected their eggs, but have recently set up a bunch of 10g tanks for breeding. What do you think is the best way to collect the eggs? I have them in a densely planted display tank that I don’t like disrupting. Do you think spawning mops are a good way to do it? Will moving the eggs to different tank water affect them? Thanks!
Yes, big fan of spawning mops. I've used mops for the other species I've bred since these. I wouldn't worry too much about moving eggs to another tank as long as they're fairly similar in temperature and water chemistry.
If you take good care of your fish chances are at some point they will breed on their own. With adult fish in the tank and especially a community tank, the amount of fry that survive to adulthood will be limited.
Typically yes. There is usually a number of hours (almost a day sometimes) before I notice eggs getting eaten but the trileanatus I recall eating them within minutes. Could just be dumb luck
@@MakeMoreFish i just pulled my java moss to a bare bottom 5 gal with some tank water from the parents tank, in desperation with no breeder box/smaller container. my 6 just got big enough in size i suppose and 1 female this afternoon dropped eggs around the tank for the first time with the help of 2 males. Hoping I won't have issues feeding the babies with so much room in the 5 gal stuck in moss 🙄
@@StarTexaspets Can you bring over some of the substrate from the established tank? Whatever life comes with it plus some supplemental fry food might do the trick
@@StarTexaspets Mine too! I hope it works but if it doesn't, you'll have many opportunities to experiment and find something that works. If the adults are well fed they should spawn frequently.
can they get use to water change or feeding live food and stop breed ? since they breed for me 1 time when i switch from dry food to live food 1 time and then stop since ( after that i start to feed them live food frequenly but nothing happen its feel like 1 hit wonder for me ) @@MakeMoreFish
Excellent information and footage..👏👏👏👏 First time seeing this...Congratulations on videotape it. Great job.. Sir can you explain how you identify genders and what age do they sexually mature to reproduce?
I actually struggle to sex corydoras before they breed when it becomes obvious. That said, here's what I look for: females are larger and will develop kind of a hump on their back as they mature. Females will have rounded anal fins to aid in holding eggs as they drop. Also observable as they mature will be a fuller, rounder belly on the females and a wider body when viewed from above. Males are essentially the opposite of those traits and may show more pointed, angular fins and a narrower body when viewed from above. They are typically smaller in overall size. Sexual maturity varies between species but I would wager many fall between 6 and 12 months.
PS... I've also found they lay all their eggs at night in my aquariums. I've never seen it happen midday. I wake up and there they are. Every single time. Coincidence?
I don't think it's a coincidence. I think spawning at first light is really common for corydoras. I've seen it happen at odd times throughout the day but I think morning has been the most consistent.
@@MakeMoreFish That's about right. Right before it gets light is when I find stands of eggs. Ill go shine a light at the show aquarium to see if there is anything exciting to see before blasting the lights and that's when I find eggs every time now. Before I didn't know you even look for them. But recently this is a daily occurrence. Everyone's breeding like mad. Lol exciting but overwhelming unplanned projects lay ahead.
Thanks for watching! If you enjoyed this video, consider subscribing to see future projects.

I don't take the eggs out of the tank and the fry are perfect, have around 100(tetras, corys and otos) fish in the tank, amano shrimp. Loving it!
Great footage of the spawning to hatching, absolutely fascinating. 👍

Nice video
Spotted a 3/8 “ baby in my community tank, Juli parents have small spots on head . Never saw eggs
In the breeding box with the fry were some more eggs? Must be very fulfilling to see your efforts paying off
In this case those were additional eggs from the original parents but these fry did end up reproducing later on
Excellent video! Love your idea of sticking eggs on gravel pieces, I wonder if you cleaned the stones, did they come from your tank etc?! God bless your endeavours 🙏✝️. ✌️🇷🇺☮️🇺🇦✌️. 🙋♀️🤍🇮🇱✌️

@@MakeMoreFish oh okay. Thanks for your reply!

Which pump do you use? How do you keep the tanks so clean?
If I don't want these fish to breed, would it be easy to prevent it? For example, if I don't drop temperature, change lighting, etc.....
If you take good care of your fish chances are at some point they will breed on their own. With adult fish in the tank and especially a community tank, the amount of fry that survive to adulthood will be limited.
Do you typically wait til the female is done laying eggs to remove?
Typically yes. There is usually a number of hours (almost a day sometimes) before I notice eggs getting eaten but the trileanatus I recall eating them within minutes. Could just be dumb luck

Personal gripe about triliniatus being sold as julii at Julii prices. There's no reason to charge $10+ per for Tris
The last time I saw true Julii in a store they were 20 or 30 each. Rare for sure.
how to i trigger them to breed ?
Water changes tend to get them in the mood.
