I'm thinking about getting pair of cory cats to add to my 20 gallon tank, and I'm hoping that I'll be able to get them to breed. The fishlore profile for cory cats says that they're hard to breed, but a lot of members here seem to have a lot of luck with getting them breed.
I went to Petco yesterday to take a look at them, and a lot of them are pretty expensive. The least expensive one was the Green Emerald Cory, so I'm just wondering if anyone has had any experience breeding these cories, and give me some advice on doing so. They look pretty cool B)

Also, are there any easier-to-breed cories?
Or even, are there any easier-to-breed, non-livebearer fish that will fit in my 20 gallon?

For me Albino aeneus was easiest to breed. If you plan on breeding them you need a tank just for them and a group of at least six Corys. They are hard to tell the gender of with out a group to look at and the breed better in groups. Looking down on them Females are broader through the back and stomach area than Males.
They need extremely clean water and meaty foods to condition them(thawed frozen blood worms, mysis shrimp or brine shrimp). After feeding them for conditioning for about a week do a large 50% or better water change with water 3-5 degrees cooler than their tank water. This simulates spring rains and breeding time. They should spawn within 24 hrs. Depending on their age you may have to do this several time.
They may eat their eggs, So it's easier to move all occupants from the tank after the eggs are laid.

a pair of convict cichlids would just about fit, and are very easy to breed, my saying for getting them to breed is "convict cichlids,just add water!"
