Breeding Pygmy Corys

[smudge_]

interesting thread.
 
I recently moved house, so had to empty the tank.  It is fairly heavily planted and the pygmys dont tend to. come out very much, certainly  not all together.  I knew that at the very least I still had most of them but wasnt sure if they are happy because they dont appear very often.
 
However, when bagging them up I realised that my 10 corys have turned into 13 so I guess they are happy enough!

I guess so!  
 
I've found that if the water conditions are very good, cories are much more apt to be active and less shy. I'm growing out my 4 java fern, java moss, 2 anubias, and crypts, so I've stuck a few fake plants in so the poor cories won't be too unsheltered. You can tell a lot about the tank's condition by watching how the fish act!
