I have 10 panda corydoras in my aquarium for 9 months. They were at least 3-6 months old when purchased. They were small, but not young fry when purchased. So I'd be guessing they are at least a year old. Which is old enough to be breeding ready for the panda cory species. I have one male showing the "dancing" mating behavior by flashing his fins, chasing a female, and pushing onto the barbel area of her face. Female shows no interest in breeding though? She will frantically swim away and hide. She's not gravid appearing. Is that why? Is she not ready because of her age or is my water parameters off to entice spawning?
~Weekly water change. Every Sunday 20-50% depending on plant debris & api readings
~ During water change, I use cooler fresh water to mimic rainy season. Temp usually sits at 77.4°
~Ammonia 0ppm ~ Nitrite 0ppm ~Nitrate under 5.0 ppm ~~~Ph from tap faucet is 7.0 but in aquarium it jumps to Ph 8.0-8.2 (no clue why? Maybe my decorations or substrate)
Advice, tips, or help is much appreciated!
