Breeding cory

How hard is it to breed peppered cory and how can u tell their sex

 

[George9]

It's usually easy to tell the sex of mature cory cats by their size and shape, but when they're still young they both look the same. The females are bigger--both longer and wider than the males. The shape of the male's ventral fins is more pointed than that of the female, but without having others to compare it to it is hard to tell. Most corys for sale at the lfs are too young to tell.

Its it hard to breed these guys what do I need to do

 

[George9]

Well, I've really never bred any fish before, so I may be incorrect. I guess you put a male and a female together and let them do the rest. Or, they might sell mated pairs somewhere.
