If they are reasonably large, I'd expect a female to lay at least 20-30 eggs per day.

You should be able to sex them by comparing the ventral fins - rounded corner: female, square corner: male.

Hi, my understanding of the "Black" cory is that it is a "form" of the Schultzei cory "developed" in Germany, in the 90,s. But i might be wrong.

I love those all black cories. I have been trying to get a group for over three years every time I find someone with some they tell me they will contact me when the breed and I never hear anything. I don't hold it against them, it would be tough for me to remember all the people that pm me for plants.

Does anyone sell these regularly?

Redkahuna on Aquabid has them maybe once a year. Mine just don't seem to breed much, or with fertile eggs.

Yesterday I think there were some on AB. There was a few days left and they were up to $15 already though. Ouch.

Beautiful fish though.
