    Is there a size-difference as well. Hard to see, but these could be 3 females to me looking at the whitish bellies.
    Watching at a cellphone. I'll watch on a PC tommorow.

    All approx the same size, only one looks stocky looking from above she looks broader than the other 3, they look more slender and long. Will try more pics if needed.

    Thanks for the help @DoubleDutch

    I havent checked the links, but my sterbai did spawn into some christmas moss once I managed to drop my ph by a full point (still just over 7 though) and keep it consistent when I was going through my DIY CO2 phase. I think it is possible that this is the factor you need to address to trigger the spawn. Some drift wood or PMP should do the trick if you're not into the whole CO2 thing

    At that stage my fish were getting only tetra prima

    Watched at the PC. Still hard to see. How old are they? They seem a kind of small and I'd expect serious sizesdifferences.
    I'd stop the waterchanges for some time, feed them living / frozen food, and try again after a week or two.
    Every change in temperature, ph, aso can trigger them as well as a pressuredrop / weatherchange / storm aso.
    Even had some people where adding ferts triggered them. No need to put the lights out or lower Ph. They'll stick the eggs mainly to the glass / ornaments. Be aware they'll eat them. So if they'll start to swim along the glass keep an eye on them. Think you might find usefull info at Planet Catfish.

    I have then now for about a year, bought them as tiny corys at lfs they have been in my 4ft tank since i got them.

    Only real difference in size i can see is stocky and skinny other than that they are almost all the same size.

    I got Albinos and Leopards today will give the bronze more time an try again later on

    Thanx for the advise DoubleDutch.

    See if you can chat to Spearo. He breeds anything that even remotely looks like a cory. His garage has about a dozen tanks with only cories and cory fry in them.

    Thank you @DoubleDutch on yours I can clearly see the size difference on mine I cant.

    Mine might be to small to breed my Albino's are larger than my Bronze.

    Albinos are the same species. So they'll "crossbreed". There are actually about 14 kind of Aeneus-species. I am also keeping 6 enormous green Aeneus, 6 albinos and about 20 Venezuelas (these belong to the Aeneus-group as well).
    Only bred the ones from the pics !

    Please post a pic of that one if you can, i have never seen one with blue eyes.

    I dont mind the cross breeding between the bronze and albino, i would just love to get them te breed. I like angels and Gourami etc but Corydoras i LOVE. Its my favourite little fish and i would like some more for my other tanks.

    Out of 7 tanks only 2 has corydoras in...... :(
