breeding my cories

[LMOUTHBASS]

i've got 5 albinos all different sizes - i woul luv to see them breed -whats the chances they might n what behaviors shoul i watch for?
i've got one who is getting huge think it's a she - two that are a little smaller than her and the other 2 that are really young
i might get some more
i noticed two of them swimming into each other n circling each other while sort of like swimming with each other hard to explain but its only temporary then they swim off its a very friendly looking behavior though -

My cories sometimes 'jitter' at each other. Like vibrating thier body. I'm pretty sure that's a mating call. I have four pepper cories. I think two have paired up, but they all look pretty much the same so its hard to tell.

I've never seen eggs or anything though, i'm not sure how they raise babies.

I've only had success at peppered cories with eggs, but it's really fun to watch it from the mating to the growng of the spawn. The way they mate may start at the circling LMB, but the actual mating will be when you see the male (who will be quite smaller than the female) horizontally vibrating right in front of her, sort of like making a T-shape with the 2 cories. I let them do their thing, lay their eggs wherever they would and let the fry grow up in the tank. I saved a batch or two but each way, the results were the same, resulting in quite a few give-aways. Good luck with yours!

best chances are after big water changes with water thats just a little cooler than tank water, it stimulates natural rainfall. it might take a few tries and they will attach eggs to the sides of stuff. if they are breeding you will see the female next to the male at weird positions because they swallow the sperm and fertilization happens that way.
