Breeding Skunk Cory CW020

Post by shayshay »

Hi there, is it true that the skunk corys have never been bred in captivity?

When I first started in the hobby just over a year ago I bought a little group of them (started with 6 down to 4 unfortunately), I was later told they won't breed. I've just moved them from a community tank to start to condition them - but i want to know if i'm going to be wasting my time attempting this.
Thought i'd check here to see if anyone had success and please tell me your methods!

Thank you

Hi shayshay,

(C020, not CW020) has been bred in captivity. There is one spawning report here on the species CLOG page, but it provides little detail. There is detailed information at the website corydorasworld.com (note: the information there is available only to paid subscribers).

Cheers, Eric
