I put a few Coryfish into the tank to clean it up a bit, and two of them finally decided to spawn! The female was a rescue, but the male I have had for about four years now. Over 200 eggs, just hope all goes well. Male is an Emerald Cory (?) female is a Peppered Cory (?). Started at 8:00pm last night and ended at 2:00am this morning. Stayed up the whole time making sure they wouldn't eat any eggs, lol.
