I have got ten of these rotten things, and for 5 years now I have been trying to get them to spawn. They were fair lumps of fish when I got them (wild caught) and I fancied my chances of getting a few eggs in the fist year, but to no avail!
Most cories are fairly shy, retiring types to one degree or another, but these guys take the cake. Never come out to say hello except when there is some really tastey morsel offered and if the school does happen to be out in the open when someone walks past the tank, they go straight into pannic mode.

As far as cories go they are not small fish, so it's got me beat why they are so skittish after all this time. And they are not getting any younger so desperate measures may be needed to get some progeny before they all shuffle off. I would hate to see them all drop off the perch before reproducing but none of the tricks I have tried with them have got them in an amorous mood :wall

Hey!! but that's game we are in ;) Just try something else I guess :\

Try a real cool 50% water change, send their temp down by ten degrees F

G'Day Ian,
Yes have tried that to no avail in the past. Fish room is a bit too warm for most cories at the moment. will give them another gow when the weather here cools a bit.

:cheers

Alan
