My breeders were always in species tanks so they didn't have a chance to cross breed.

Sudden activity is the clear sign of spawning soon. Lots of action.

I have kept mine in species tanks also. So that would not happen. Was told a very long time ago it could happen. But have never seen it.

I've only seen pictures of the "T" formation of interbreeding. Don't remember if the fry survived.

Whats the "T" formation?

The female points her head into the side of the male creating what they call the  "T". At that point the eggs are fertilized and clamped between her fins. They are quite active while this is going on. He will make several passes wiggling over her head before the "T" is formed.

Very cool thread. Love all the cory info. What kind of tank do you keep these in? Bare bottom, sand or gravel?

I use gravel and small live plants...java fern, anubias....the cory's like to spawn on them, as well as every stink'n glass pane there is....LOL...
Sponge filters and/or a small hob.....20 longs are perfect...my hi-fin pod is larger and in a 30 long...
the 20 long also has a small bubble wand, for entertainment....they love to flit around it sometimes

Yep, me too. Twenty longs are perfect and a sand/gravel mix is just what the doctor ordered.
