Breeding Two Species of Corydoras in The Same Tank at The Same Time?

I currently own about 20 Corydoras pygmaeus and 7 Corydoras schultzei sp. Black and am considering breeding my pygmy corys. What if I took my pygmys and put them with the black corys and tried to trigger a spawn. I am fairly certain I could get one of them to spawn, but could this have an adverse affect and as one lays the eggs the other eats the eggs, or could the hormones trigger a spawn from the other species? This may be just a question of should I? rather than could I. Thoughts? Has anybody else done something like this?

P.S. if I were to get them to breed, most likely I would be pulling the eggs.

 

I don't know if just putting the 2 different species in the same tank would trigger a spawn but I do know doing a water change with slightly cooler water gets my bronze/albino corys in the mood.

I actually thought something was wrong with mine when they stopped laying eggs. Come to find out it was just because the water was too warm during the summer months. Now that the tank has cooled down they are laying eggs almost daily again. I have lots of females so I get almost daily eggs as they take turns.

Well what I was meaning by trigger a spawn would be if one species were to be triggered to spawn (by way of cool water changes), the hormones they release could trigger the other species.

Just a question, what temp do you keep your corys at? Currently, I have the pygmy's at about 84 because of rams in that tank currently, but generally run it at 80~, and the black corys run about 80-82 standard.

I really don't know if it would work like that. I kinda doubt it but I supposed it is possible.

I normally keep mine at 76. During the summer months it isn't unusual for it to get up to 80. Different corys thrive at different temps though. Have you looked into the best temp for the types you have?

I have not checked specific temps, but now that you mention it, I will! I suppose since corydoras are peaceful it couldn't hurt to try it at least.
