I have previously had accidental breeding between my cory cats but now that ive separated them all in a 10 gallon, lowered the light, added an air stone, and fed alot of meaty foods i cant seem to get them to breed for the life of me. Any advanced tactics I can use? haha

Do a major water change with cooler water. If properly conditioned, fish should spawn the next morning.
Have tried multiple times :/ fish are super fat but no eggs. do they prefer a substrate or plant to lay the eggs on?
It doesn't matter. They will even spawn in a bare tank.
Do you feed live foods? Blackworms work very well. Also do plenty of water changes to keep your nitrate level low.
feed blood worms worms and live foods and pre condition them, then as joe said do a water change with slightly cooler water, the cooler water replicates nature when in the wild there is rainfall and the slightly cooler water from the rain falls into the streams and rivers witch makes the water cooler which encourages them to breed because they think that the cooler water means rain and when it rains the rivers swell and get bigger and more water = more fish so yeah, substrate doesn't matter since in the aquaria they lay eggs on the sides on the glass. i cant get my cories to stop breeding lol every 4 weeks i get some eggs on the glass i just, let my other fish eat them, a nice little treat for them!
