cory catfish breeding

[limpb1589]

i want to start breed cory's just for fun. and for my future community tank! haha

how do i tell the difference between male and female? dorsal fin?

should the tank be set up like this?
-gravel
-filter
-bubbler
-live plants
-heater at 72 degrees

when the eggs are layed should i seperate the adults from the eggs?

put a divider in the tank untilt he fry hatch then pull the divider out and put the fry in my fry tank with the guppy fry?

is there anything else i should kno? is all this correct too?
haha thank in advance!

alot of people have had success by keeping the water warm then adding colder water to the tank this encourages the to breed they like it for some reason

u think cold tap water thats been treated would do the trick?

 

[aspear]

change 1/3 of the water and replace with 60 degree water.
they should lay eggs on the glass that night if you have a male and female spawning age
