I dont know what to breed

[bball4life]

Which one do you think I should breed? I heard that corys are a little easier, but I dont know which one I want to breed. Also at what size do angel start to pair?

 

[Morrgan]

I don't have any advice on which one to choose (how about both? ), but if you choose the angels, please let them raise their young themselves. The world is too full of useless angel parents as it is and one should strive to keep the natural instincts of the fish intact.

Cories. Angels have a lot of fry, and need a very large growout tank. You'll also need to get 6+ angels to start with to get a pair.

Are you limited to just those fish?

Depends what you're breeding for, i.e. progression of the hobby or making money etc...

If it's to make money as well as having breeding experience why not speak to your LFS, see what sorts of fish they perhaps have trouble getting or would prefer to get locally (ones that perhaps don't travel too well) and breed them for the LFS.

I don't know about you, but my lfs has tonns of albino cories and angels - but if you like them that much go for it!

Good luck whatever you choose

 

[bball4life]

ok how many albino cories do you think I will need?

 

[bball4life]

yea my lfs is low on cories and they need some so I already have a home for them if they need one

 

[OohFeeshy]

I'd maybe go for 6 cories.

 

[boxman]

Cories sound good to me!!!

There are plenty of varieties so you could change if you felt like it I guess!

 

[bball4life]

yea, but I also heard some corydoras are easier to breed than others.

 

[abstract]

just a question, but will your lfs be low on cories in several months when they are finally ready to be sold?

 

[bball4life]

well im not sure, usually when they get some in they usually go pretty quick since alot of people want them to clean the bottom of their tanks and since they are compatible with mostly every fish
