It started as a fishless cycle and then when i thought it was ready i bought a school of 6 pigmy cories. My nitrite and ammonia went off the roof! So someone from another forum just sending me some media from his established tank for free! As a gift lol i was lucky i guess and that helped me finish the cycle!

i did get mine to spawn by accident right before they were sold. i only saved two eggs though. they don't seem to be difficult to breed. I'm raising my fry in a brine shrimp net(because i have tetras and angelfish in my tank and a platy. all fish that can eat eggs or fry, or even adults!), but if you want to breed them just give them a dedicated tank with no predators and they will do the rest. and you just leave the fry in there with them since they do not eat their own kind or eggs. pretty easy to raise too.

guppies may surprising get the cory fry if they breed, but if you have enough hiding space at the bottom, then a few should survive. cory fry are surprisingly jelly-like. definitely not what i initially thought. i know pleco fry are super spiny and barely any fish would want to eat them. but cories are super soft and not spiny like i thought. easy snack for fish :(
