What are the breeding methods for the peppered cory catfish?
Cory catfish have two small “whiskers” growing beside their mouths, closely resembling little mice swimming in the water, which is how they got the name “cory catfish.” So, are you all familiar with the breeding methods for the peppered cory catfish?
1. Breeding methods for the peppered cory catfish
The breeding methods for the peppered cory catfish are relatively simple. During a short period after a water change, the water temperature drops, which can stimulate them to come into season and spawn. The most common spawning method is “T-position breeding.” During mating, the male constantly chases the female. When the female signals agreement, the male actively extends the reproductive organs on the lower part of his body. The female then draws out the milt and holds it in her mouth, after which she lays her eggs in a suitable spot and sprays the milt over them.
