- Well this is the first part of the breakdown of all of the ways on how i breed all my corys, my methods and theories behind them and mostly its just MY personal experience and opinion on keeping and raising these beautiful little catfish. (spoiler alert - it does work !! lol)
So thanks so much for taking the time to watch my videos, i greatly appreciate it and hope the information in this one helps you out in your own way.
much love

I finally found someone that uses "natural" breeding methods. Your videos feel like you have invited me to spend a day in your fish room. Thank you.
Ah wow thanks so much, that’s so nice of you to say and I’m very happy you like hanging out with me at my place. I really appreciate your support 🙏❤️🇦🇺🐶💪🏻
Always great to rewatch your older videos.
Thanks legend…. So nice of you to always comment 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You could just put a camera on and walk around about your day ,that alone would be a great video. We enjoy watching what you do everything is so interesting.
Ha that’s so funny, when I edit the videos actually think that people will find it so boring and turn off. Lol. I am super pleased that you enjoy my videos in the content and you have no idea how much I appreciate your support. Thank you so very very much.🙏❤️🇦🇺🐶💪🏻
There is no way your videos are boring 😊🎉
Adrian, you have the finest fish room I’ve seen. Also, this video is amazing. Truly helpful. Great stuff. Keep sharing the knowledge.
That’s so very nice of you to say I really appreciate your support. Thank you so much.🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺🦘
Perfect timing! I just sat down to relax, and now I have something awesome to watch! Thank you, M8!!
My pleasure! I hope you enjoyed it 🙏❤️🐶
Zig had the best day ever! 😊
Didn’t he just !!!! Ziggy said to say thanks so much for your support. He and I really appreciate it.🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺💪🏻
I love how you have Ziggy saying little lines on here, so sweet🥰
Much love from Nova Scotia🇨🇦
Thanks so much and the funny thing is he and I have those conversations all day every day off camera. Lol.🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺💪🏻
Thank you heaps !…much ❤️ 🙏🐶🇦🇺💪🏻
I only saw 1 frame in the video that let me identify the spider as a huntsman. Good job.
Ha thanks and yeah I was amazed at how agile he was !🙏❤️🇦🇺🐶👍🏻🦘
Terrific channel. Beautiful tanks. Love the yard. Nuts about Ziggy.
Thankyou ! I’m stoked you like my place and the videos…. And yeah Ziggy is pretty popular…. lol I just don’t tell him too much as he gets a big head about it !! lol 🙏❤️🇦🇺🐶🦘
I also need an assistant like Ziggy 😂❤❤🐶 He’s so precious ❤
Ha yep he is huh…. My little buddy and shadow who is ALWAYS willing to hemp me do anything !! lol thanks so much for your support. I really appreciate it.🙏🇦🇺🐶❤️👍🏻 Ziggy says hi and thanks as well ❤️❤️❤️
I just found a surprise panda cory fry in my heavily planted tank for the second time this week. Would love to breed my sterbai cories up, so I appreciate this vid Adrian!
That is awesome! I love natural surprises like that and I’m so pleased that you enjoyed it. It makes it all worthwhile when people are able to connect and take something from my videos.🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺💪🏻
Oh this video is a gold mine! Thank you for sharing with us. I have a group of Julii Cory’s that I’ve had for about 2 years and never bred. This totally has me wanting to set up a little breeding tank and give it a try! Also, the little play date was SO cute! Im glad ziggy was having fun with his friends! He is a hoot.
Wonderful! Good luck 👍🏻
My gosh, can't believe how long these vid must take you. 10/10. x x
Longer than I would like ! lol 😂
Zeke reminds me of myself and my dog Obi (wan). He’s also always around when I’m messing with my fish. Also a great surveillance system that dog is. And he also listens to magic words.. haha the similarities are striking.
Great video Adrian, I love watching your videos after a long workday! Thanks and keep’em coming ! Greetings
That’s so awesome to know, that I’m not the only crazy fish and dog dude out there. Ziggy and I have many conversations along those lines and 99.9% of them are not captured on camera. Lol.🙏❤️🇦🇺🐶💪🏻
Another great video! Idk how you manage to take an empty tank and make it look like it’s been going for a year. So jealous of that ability. Looking forward to pt 2 😊
Thanks so much, Bonnie. I really appreciate it and hopefully the video shows how easy it is for anyone to attempt. Thanks so much for your kind words. I really appreciate them at your support.🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺💪🏻
I have used the jug/jar method successfully using nothing but an airstone, a small Indian almond leaf and a chunk of moss. No mold issues at all.
Yep same same ! Love it 🙏❤️🐶💪🏻🇦🇺
That was cool bro 😎 and your dog and cats 🐈⬛ make the show to . Great backyard fish room, so lucky the boss lets you have your way lol 😂
Thanks so much. I really appreciate that. It’s not like I could try and keep them out of the videos now as I’m sure they all love it especially Ziggy. Lol.🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺💪🏻
Greetings from the U.S.A. I found your channel about a few weeks ago thru KFS. So glade I did. I had taken down all my tanks but the 125gl and seeing your fish room was inspiring.I have setup three in in the last two weeks lol!
This video is the greatest thing that happened to me all week
Ha ! That’s so funny, thanks for your support, hope you enjoyed it 🙏❤️💪🏻🐶🇦🇺
Great video ❤
Thank you so much ❤️🙏🇦🇺🦘🐶
Came from KFS video he just released. You do a great job, I subscribed. One advice, you should get a better microphone, then your videos will be even more amazing.
Thanks so much for the support and I agree. I’m really keen to get a new microphone and to upgrade my phone, but unfortunately I haven’t had the money to do so. As soon as I do, however, you guys will straight away as the videos will hopefully be better quality. Thanks again🙏👍🏻❤️🐶🇦🇺
Awesome video. I can watch your channel all day. Sometimes I don't get anything else done. Lol. Thanks for sharing
Ha that’s a classic so funny and thank you so much for your support. I really appreciate it.🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺💪🏻
So excited for this video - can't wait for part 2!!
Hope you enjoy them both 🙏❤️🐶
I have a Jack Russell too! And he "helps" me work too!
Ah that’s cool ! lol Ziggy is actually a mini foxy and yes they can’t stop themselves from being involved in whatever it is I’m doing 🙏❤️🇦🇺🐶💪🏻
Great information, it's always good to different ways of breeding any type of fish. Even if the differences are minor, sometimes a tweak can alter a fishes behavior. Thanks for sharing 😊
Very true! And thanks for your support 🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺
Great vid again mate. Really enjoyable and educational.
Thank you your scapes are wonderful!
Regards Duzzy🇦🇺
Thanks legend ! I truly appreciate all of your support, bro🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺💪🏻
Great video. Looking forward to part two.
Glad you enjoyed it and let me know what you thought of part two as well. Thanks so much for your support.🙏❤️🇦🇺🐶💪🏻
I switched to bug buffet 3 days ago, Cory’s spawned this morning! Giving a jugx tray setup a try - wish me luck! Fingers crossed for Our first egg layer babies !
That’s so cool to know and great feedback as I have found similar results. Thank you so much for your support.🙏🇦🇺❤️👍🏻🐶
@@AdriansFishroom and I have my second spawn growing up now!! Ripper tutorial mate, thanks again.
Your fish room is beautiful 🤩and Ziggy too
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. 🙏❤️👍🏻🐶
Im having an issue with my false juliis. I purchased some from 3 different stores & keep having same issue. About half turn very pale & die off within 1 day to 2 wks of purchase. Ive treated for several things to no avail. I read about self poisoning from stress & wonder if this is whats happening.
It does not seem contagious as no other species were affected. Endlers, pygmys, glass cats, & otos.
U seem well educated on corys & i wonder if u have experienced this ever or heard or this happening.
My water parameters are on point. Temp is down at 75.
I have plenty of plants & driftwood for cover & soft sand substrate for them to sift thru.
If anyone has any advice im all ears & much appreciated ❤
Hmmmm that does sound like a problem.
I would suggest starting from scratch with a new tank just for the corridor as a species only tank and set it up as minimal and natural as possible, and see how that goes as a test case. Good luck with that, and on the bright side, my solution provides you with another tank. LOL
You could try another species in your current tank like sterbais… tough little guys.
🙏❤️🇦🇺🐶👍🏻
Perfect timing, I'm thinking og breeding some corys. I need as many ideas as possible. Keep the videos coming. Oh and that spider................
I’m so pleased and good luck with the breeding projects. And yeah, he was quite acrobatic. Wasn’t he?🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺💪🏻🦘
'It's cold here today that's why we're in the fishroom' Haha like 20 degrees C? You can tell i'm from Victoria.
Ha yep they breed them tougher down there !! 🤣🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺
Nt qld hits 17 degrees and they all act like they dying XD and won't go outside
Bought a couple of large corydoras the other day this morning eggs all over our tank 😱.Great video subscribed.
Thanks, legend I truly appreciate your support and good luck with the Corys. They are an amazing fish and one of my fa Wouters.
Hi Adrian I love your fish room set up mate . Has inspired me to eventually set up a similar room . Love how you have the pothos and other plants growing in tanks too . Will keep watching amd learn from you mate . Cheers Tim 😊
Thanks for watching Tim, I hope you find the inspiration you need to set up your own fish room. And thanks so much for your support 🙏👍🏻❤️🐶
Hi Adrian.. awesome mate.. got a question: I bought a piece of wood and had it in soaking in a bucket of water for a few weeks, then boiled it and back into the bucket for another week. Thinking the tannins were all gone as the water in the bucket was clear I put it in my 4ft community tank.. Two days later the water went brown so I did a small water change and cleaned the wool sponges in my canister and internal filter. Today everything has gone brown including the canister hoses, white substrate and sponges again. I have now removed the wood and cleaned the canister and internal wool sponges again. Watching your video tonight I can see the aquarium is coming back to normal and clearing. What have I done wrong?
Yeah, that does not sound fun. It could be the type of timber that you have would be my first guess, that might contain so much tanins and old sap that it will leak out for many months.
I would take the opportunity to pull the tank down, replace the timber with something else and put that one outside in a bucket or tub for six months and let it do its thing.
Alternatively, you could do 50% water changes twice a week for a month and I’m sure that would help, but only if you really attached to that specific bit of timber. otherwise take the easier path. Hope that helps.🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺💪🏻
Dr. Evil looks so innocent. Ziggy is quality control inspector . Adrian you have more fun then a barrel of monkey's..
Ha that’s so true to all of the above. It can be quite painful but always fun to film 🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺💪🏻
Is Ziggy available for hire? His work is spectacular!
Ha ! Yep he works for pats and ball throws.🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺🤣
@@AdriansFishroom 🤣🤣 thank You both for the amazing content. Always look forward to winding down and watching them when I can
Awesome channel!
Gonna keep watching
Thanks legend !! Much appreciated 🙏👍🏻❤️🐶🇦🇺
Nice, Cheers from Sweden this will be fun
Hope you enjoy it! And thank you for your support 🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺
Great vid. Just escaped my big tank... inspired!!
Fantastic!🙌🏻🐶❤️🙏👍🏻 thanks so much
How do you collect the Cory eggs off the gIass and plants in the tank? I tried a credit card which was ok, and my finger nail which worked better for me. My Venezuelan Red Sails spawned for the first time last week. I don’t think the eggs were fertile as they didn’t look it and I had none hatch. I had them in a breeder box in the tank with an air stone and tossed some moss in with the eggs. It was the first time so and they surprised me as they spawned with just a small water change. I plan to try again as I would love to get a few babies. Do you spawn the Venezuelan Black Cory’s the same way? I have some of them in another tank that are getting up to breeding age. I haven’t tried to spawn them either. This is a great video. Your videos never disappoint. I don’t always get to watch them as soon as they come out, but I always do watch them eventually. Thank you!
When you showed your crab, at first I thought it was a fake plastic crab. That crab is stunning. I love the purplish color.
Thanks so much for the cool message and yeah, the crabs are awesome. I’m about to do a new video moving them to another tank as well. I definitely breed the black car is the same way and always use my finger to roll the eggs off and I do show that in the video as well. Good luck luck breeding your Corys if need be getting more tanks helps. Lol thanks so much for the support.🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺🦘
Hello sir we do enjoy your video just a suggestion try to improve camera quality i mean 1080p or 2160p if possible that would help us to see fish closely or clearly
A 19y old corydoras lover lot learning from you
Much❤from india 🇮🇳
I currently shoot everything on my iPhone X with cheap $20 microphones. Unfortunately, I don’t have the money to buy a better camera, but I am hoping to upgrade my phone soon that should fix the camera quality somewhat. I do appreciate your advice and your support and thank you very much much.🙏❤️🐶💪🏻🇦🇺
@@AdriansFishroom no no sir take your time it was just a suggestion, when you feel it then upgrade, ❤️
17:45 - how cool are they schooling together!!
I know right !! I just had to share that bit🙌🏻🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺💪🏻
I love your dog. I lost my 16.5 year old JRT in September. oh, i also like your fish room :)
Thank you so much for your support and I'm so sorry to hear about your JRT… it’s always a very painful experience to say goodbye to such good friends, and I totally empathize with your circumstances as I’ve said goodbye too far too many over my life already. I hope that you are coping as best as you can given the circumstances and it’s something that I truly understand and offer my sincere compassion and love to you as it always sucks. I really appreciate your support thank you so much for reaching out to me and all the best.🙏👍🏻❤️🐶
Came for the fish, stayed for the dog 😂
Ha ha ha that’s so funny …… why do so many people say that? 🙄😳🥺🤣🙏❤️🇦🇺🐶💪🏻❤️
Hi Adrian, A while ago when Nick had his first visit to your place he handed you a couple of books by Ian Fuller,Identifying corydoradinae catfish and Breeding corydoradinae catfish.I am looking for the book on breeding if you know were I could get a copy.I have the book on identifying catfish.I have contacted the author and Ian has no copies left.
Hi there, yes I bought those books directly from Ian himself in the UK. Many years ago now. I’m not sure where you would pick them up now unfortunately, although perhaps contact Nick at the shop as he does have different books for sale in there and may be able to assist.🙏❤️🐶💪🏻🇦🇺
37:32 thats a really beautiful lush green java fern needle there ❤😮
Sir my rhizomes also produce leaves but after a week the leaf gets yellowish colour what to do ?
I have strong lighting good flow i dont dose chemical additives yet should i ?
I really want to see my java fern like yours ❤
Thanks so much for the support and I can’t really tell without seeing the plant obviously, but I don’t put fertilizers in at all and I grow them in darker shaded conditions in both high and low flow.
I would do at least 50% water changes per week for one monthif not more per week and try and get the tank really clean and then allow it to settle back in after one month to more regular water changes.
Plants like really clean water and I think that would be a good place to start for you.🙏❤️🐶💪🏻🇦🇺
@@AdriansFishroom thanks 😊
Did you get motivated to try any new Cory's after meeting Ragina and Eric? They are both truly gems to the hobby just like you bro.
I think so much I really appreciate that and your support. I am definitely inspired to get some more queries and in fact, I’m thinking of the larger brochis species. What they did do was inspire me to breed my existing ones, hence this video and the time it’s taken to get enough footage to make it worth watching. Hopefully. Lol.🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺💪🏻
@@AdriansFishroom And i as an animal lover appreciate that you share Ziggy's personality. Fish do not interact like man's best friend. Perfect amount of time he appears . He adds to each video. You 2 have a beautiful bond.
Lovely 😊
Thank you ❤️🙏🐶💪🏻🇦🇺
Can you use Indian Almond leaves to help the corydoras eggs without using chemicals? I've tried it myself and had good results.
Yes, you can. A cory breeder I know uses alder cones.
Yep and also local gum leaves do the same.🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺💪🏻
I also use quan-dong berries here (like alder cones)🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺
Great channel always watch
Much appreciated as is your support 🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺
What you need is pufferfish my friend 😂 them snails will be delicious for them ❤
So true !!!💪🏻🐶❤️🙏
Could you please do a video of how to setup a aquarium
I've been struggling with getting my panda's and these fancy Emerald's breeding. My salt n peppers breed on the drop of a dime if I want. Have you ever tried taking water from a tank that has Cory's breeding n putting it in another to help trigger breeding? Was told it could help as the fish release pheromones into the water and it could trigger others to breed. 🤔🤷🏼♂️ Hello from Florida 🙋🏼♂️
In theory, it should work, but be advised that pheromones have a very short half life, so you will have to act fast. It will also work better if you use water from a species that is in the same species group. Another technique that a friend of mine uses is to have a perforated divider separating the desired breeding group on one side, and on the other side, have a species that is easily induced. This is not a 100% guaranteed because some species require different triggers, and some don't breed until they are quite mature after a number of years. The presence of a strong flow also has a bearing on whether the fish will spawn or not.
Great answer 💪🏻🙌🏻❤️🙏
Hope it gets them going for you !🙏❤️🐶👍🏻🤞
Awesome thanks for the info 👍🏼 I really appreciate it.
Would Levi know how your racks are built, how they are plumbed and lit.
All the racks are hand built by me and I’m sure I can include that in an upcoming video.🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺👍🏻🦘
@@AdriansFishroom thanks. It’s a great fishroom
How many hours each day do your tanks have their lights on?
Awesome! 👏
Thanks so much. I really appreciate it.🙏🇦🇺❤️💪🏻🐶
Do you find that these methods work for Pygmy Cory as well?
Great question and yes pretty much. I would add a lot more Java moss and mid and top water plants to ensure for survival as the eggs are tiny to see little and remove and you won’t know that they have spawned until you fry around. I would feed the tank baby Brine shrimp as the fry were in there This morning. Good luck with that. I hope you have a great success.🙏🇦🇺❤️🐶🦘
❤
🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺💪🏻
Where did you collect the green water?
I might get myself by squeezing a sponge filter into a white bucket and then leaving it in the funniest position in the yard. Simple as that. A bonus is that I get mosquito larva in there as well.🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺💪🏻
do you need heaters?
No, I don’t need heaters in all of my tanks, I have two 300 W heaters in each of my sumps and that’s enough heat the room usually. If I do need extra heat in the middle of winter, I have a diesel fired caravan heater installed for those really cold nights.🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺🦘
Hi do you condition your corys if so what food and how much thanks
Yes, I do if I’m deliberately and specifically trying to read them, but they will often just do it whenever they are ready. I use live black worms and bug buffet and Aquaman gel Foods when I’m trying really hard. I also feed tons of baby Brian Shrimp to condition them that there is enough life food for their babies to eat and trigger them to spawn.
I feed them twice per day morning and night again if I’m trying very hard otherwise once per day🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺💪🏻
40:35 everyone spread water like this the spray bottle is for only youtube 😂
Ha ha yes I agree so nice of you to say.🙏❤️🇦🇺💪🏻🐶
1:45 intro skip ⏭️
Awesome ❤the video
Thanks 😄 legend!🙏❤️
You're the bomb !
Ah stop it !! I will get a big head soon. I really do appreciate supporting thank you so much for taking the time to comment.
Way to ruin that spider's nap!
I know right the poor little bugger was just sitting there and a huge giant came and ripped his home up and made him dance. Lol.🙏❤️🐶🇦🇺💪🏻
i like your content this is me letting you knowwww in the comments.
Ah thanks legend ! I really appreciate it 🙏❤️🐶👍🏻🇦🇺
💕🥰
🙏🙏🇦🇺🐶💪🏻❤️
Corydoras need shallow tanks to gulp air ?? I breed corys by the hundreds in 400 mm deep tanks with the surface 95% covered in duck weed.
Congratulations on that result ! Whatever works for you is def best.🙏🐶💪🏻🇦🇺
I always wonder when you "youtubers" have so many tanks, so much feeding to do.. Have you planaria in some of your tanks? I really hate those worms, but I find it hard not to overfeed a tank :/
Luckily no…. I don’t have any of that anywhere thankfully. I have had it upstairs when I had tanks up there but zero in the fishroom. 🤞❤️🙏💪🏻🐶🇦🇺
🕷️
Ha I know right !🙏❤️🇦🇺💪🏻🐶😳
sTrumpet snails. They breed like strumpets.
Don’t they just. Little buggers are the Bain of my life atm… thanks so much for your support. I really appreciate it.🙏❤️👍🏻🐶
El bean-O? Are those Mexican corydoras? 😂😂😂 I’m Mexican before anyone gets all upset
man, I can breed anything but corys, :(
Don’t give up! Try some of my tios and keep going, u will crack the code if you do. 🙏❤️🐶💪🏻🇦🇺
@@AdriansFishroom It is my list under -Must! Nothing else, what I get under my hands ,,, no problemo, but, corydoras ... they just hate me. Recently I sold shoal (8 specimens) to a friend and they throw eggs 2 days after he put em in aquarium. I dont know how to explain that.
I like your videos, but I would keep the dog parts out, I came for fish, not for dogs 😀
Ha, not everyone is a dog lover I know, but I really appreciate your support and that you enjoy the fish part of my video. I won’t be offended if you fast forward through the dog bits, I just won’t tell Ziggy. Lol.🙏🐶🇦🇺💪🏻❤️😂
