I have been planning for a few months already to separate some cories and hoping i can breed. i bought 2 15 gallon tanks. planning to use really fine sand. and a sponge filter?

can you guys please post your breeding setup?
also what maintenance do you do for your breeding tanks?

up up i have prepared 2 15 gallon tanks with really fine sand, but so far have not transferred cories yet. Anyone has pictures of his breeding setup?

My first question would be -- What cories? For "normal" or more common varieties, I generally use a breeding group in a bare 5 gallon tank and pull the fish after the eggs are laid. Hydrogen Peroxide or Meth Blue for fungus and then do a partial water change daily until they hatch. Feeding is problematic, but sieved egg yolk works, moving to BBS and on to flake/pellets as they grow out.

In other varieties, I set up a community in a 20L (fit my racks better than 15's do) with about half decently planted, 1/4" sand bottom and plenty of "rubble" for fry to hide in. I have fewer problems with feeding/raising, but get far fewer to adult size this way. Still others get spawning mops which are pulled to a 5 gallon and raised as above. It all depends on the variety and how badly I want/need to have maximum production.

No pictures, but nothing special that is hard to duplicate from just the words.

i breed bronze cories wih ease they are in a catfis htank with some bristlnose.
if just well fed and not disturbed that often, after a water change my bronze cories breed. reccomend a very small amount of water movement. thats where my cories usually lay eggs and its a good place to lay eggs so no fungal spores manage to just land on it
