yeah...give it a try.
you need to separate the eggs or that get eaten.
you can feed fry hard boiled egg yolk or crushed flake
will be tryin that then how long do eggs take to hatch?
 
about a week to hatch.
they will feed on their yolk sac for a few days but then they need to be fed.
and yes, you crush hard boiled egg yolk and make a water solution with it. put it in a medicine dropper and squirt it on the bottom of the tank for the cories
 
i breed them by putting them to a new tank with half of it old water with no heaters ( 18 c ) after i had conditioned them for a week or so with live worms then in a few days they breed i take them up and put a heater to 25 c and any anti-fungi for the eggs ... thats all ...
 
idk what kind of cories i have there in my 20g and they were sold to me as green spot or somethin like that and one looks like it has babies cause it looks like a guppy with the black spot on the back part of its stomach and it seems like it has a better appatite than my other one but idk if thats just personality.
 
The easiest to breed are C. Aeneus and C. Paleatus.
C. Paleatus rarely, if ever eat eggs or fry.

C. Panda may be harder to breed, aeneus and paleatus thrive in lower temperatures, but have the same trigger (cooler, soft water change).

Good water quality, HIGH aeration (seriously bubbles everywhere), and frequent water changes will 'crack the safe' of breeding any cory species. And don't be afraid to try small foods, baby brine shrimp, bloodworms, and marine copepods have triggered many a breeding spell.

These secrets have me breeding C. Sterbai and C. Loxozonus regularly.
