Breeding cory cats

Quick question: how is the best way to breed Panda Cory cats?

Planet Catfish has some info here: https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=267

One general suggestion I'd make is lot of high quality frozen foods. Catfish love worms.

Cories love their worms. I was feeding live blood worms but I found I was getting lots of parasites out of them. Frozen does the trick. After stuffing the worms for a week do a huge water change with straight cold water. Of they're going to spawn it will happen then. I've got 9 pepper cory babies from my last spawn in my community tank. Triggered it accidentally, but I've got two friends who sell on aquabid and that's how they get theirs to spawn.

Note... I say straight cold water. Here in FL that's about 72 degrees. I usually keep their tank 76ish. So a drop but not a huge one.

I know a few degrees is all it takes for green cories. My 6 turned into 27 in just a few months. Cha-ching!
