Breeding Corydoras

Sexing

Sexing Corydoras when they are young can be difficult, however, once mature and in breeding condition it is easy to spot the differences. Females are much plumper (this is most easily seen from the top rather than the side) and males have elongated dorsal and pectoral fins. In wild caught Corydoras paleatus the males’ fins are very much elongated as well.
