Male or female?

[bbfeckawitts]

How do you tell whether corydoras are male or female? Also can they cross-breed with other corys? Like a bronze cory with a JulI cory (etc)?

If you know the age of them, the females are more plump around the belly due to the eggs. As for cross-breeding them, I think that you can.

Do the females always carry eggs? One does look a BIT plumper than the other.
Thanks, Brianna

If you mean do they carry eggs during the pregnancy, then no. If you mean do the males carry the eggs at all, then no again. Ands if you mean, do the females carry the eggs their whole life and then they start moving through the body(like human females), then I believe that is a yes. Sorry for the long response, but I don't really understand the question.

I meant the latter. Thank you very much.
