After talking back and forth with several people, looking online, and with my wife on my case (yes, she does like some of my fish), it will soon be time to get some cories for my 30 gallon tank. It will be basically a tank for just cories and plecos, and the plecos tend to keep to themselves in their breeding hotel. I am currently considering Gold, Green, and Orange Laser cories, as well as Sterbai and a few others. What I want to know is what cories are in the most demand. I don't usually push my fish to breed (except my Jacks, which was another story), but I also tend to keep fish very happy to the point where they are breeding for me anyway (which should be the goal of every fish keeper, NATURAL BEHAVIOR), so I always plan ahead for fry. I've bred cories before, so this is not an issue. I want to know what species I can move the easiest once they start laying eggs. If any of you have any suggestions or want me to try to breed some rare species, I'm all ears. I have yet to keep a fish species other than my red-finned sharks long ago that hasn't at least spawned once. This is not to sound cocky, I'm just rather picky about the habitat they are in and I do everything in my power to keep them VERY happy all of the time. Again, I'm open to suggestions. Something with some color would be nice, but it must be a corydoras species, it must be a fish I can get my hands on relatively quickly, and I must be able to get them for less than $15-20 per fish (I want a group of 6-8 so I don't want to be spending an arm and a leg). Those are my rules. Suggest away.
