Breeding and raising corys is very rewarding and I would recommend them to anyone who has not tried them and is looking for something a bit different. I have also found these are great fish to trade with other society members or to sell at our auctions as they can always find a ready home. My cory collection has increased quite a bit in recent times and I now have Corydoras sterbai, trilineatus, leucomelas, neon gold stripe, oiapoquensis variante 3, schwartzi, diphyes, adolfoi, , panda, metae, gossei, venezuelanus ,reticulatus and a lone sodalist who snuck in with the reticulatus. I also have Scleromystax barbatus which until recently was known as Corydoras barbatus! Corydoras jullii still elude me! Whilst I would like to breed them all my current efforts are going into conditioning up the schwartzi and gossei whilst patiently waiting for the barbatus to grow up. TopAz CORYDORAS SCHWARTZI ADULTS
