LOL this morning I woke up and niticed that I have two 8 month old emerald green cories laying eggs all over my jags tank. The jag is picking at them every once in a while but theres a lot and i think if i keep him well fed he'll leave them. I have been doing some reading and aparently these guys are hard to breed so I assume i am very lucky because I didn't even intend for them to breed. Is a breeding pair of cories valuable?? like how much could you sell per baby to a pet store???
Cories Breeding in Jags house

I have no idea how much you could sell the fry for but I don't think you'll be able to sell the fry because eventually that jag will probably pick off all of them. I'm surprised he hasn't picked off the pair to be honest. how big is the jag? if you want to breed the cories then is moving the jag to another tank a possibility? 
wow that is crazy!!
I think it is really hard for cory to breed in the tank
I had no luck with that
I think you should try to breed them, because that is just really awesome.
you can move this pair to a 10g and see if they will breed again.
I dont really think you can make money from selling cory baby, because they are cheap in store.

cories arent that hard to breed. a few will breed in something as small as 1 gallon (allegedly). they just need good water, good oxygen, good diet, and then they can be triggered with a water change of cooler water. its the same with many pleco spp.
oh~~ I see
I got 2 orange stripe cories in my 55g
I am not sure if they are different sex
how can you tell?
Generally females grow to a larger size than males. Females when in good condition are plumper than males. When viewed from above the widest point of a females body is at a point level with or slightly to the rear of the ventral fin spines. In males the widest point is level with or slightly behind the pectoral fin spines.
The ventral fins of the males tends to be more elongate and pointed, where as in females they are fan shaped and rounded. This feature can vary from species to species and in some cases there will be no visible difference. There are some species where the dorsal and pectoral fins are greatly extended in the males.

You should join a local fish club, or go to some local fish auctions. I have some people absest with cories, and will pay a lot of money for them sometimes. One guy in my club has over 600 some cories and over 20 some sp. I have seen him spend upwards of $50 on 5 cories 
.
If you want to breed a cory breed the sterbai cory. they average $22 for a bag of 3 fry in my fish club and local fish auctions.
Also saw a pair of red guppys fo for 78 dollers, some people are crazy to spend that much on feeders.
