Title: Sometimes things don't go as expected
Post by: Kelly on April 16, 2017, 12:07:26 AM
Well after moving all my fish except my Cory's to my newly planted tank I decided to use my newly set up and empty Cichlid tank to house the Cory's while my newly planted tank takes root. This morning I found 2 of my Cory's caught in the fish trap, a very prego female and a male so I put them in my Cichlid tank to hold for a couple weeks right. Well I went down to look at the aquariums this afternoon and my cichlid tank glass was plastered with Cory eggs, So I guess it'll be a while until I set up the cichlid tank.

When I was breeding corys, I would gently peel the eggs off and place them in a container with a bubbler and suspend it in the tank. Just used my fingers and sort of rolled them off the glass or plant leaves, they're quite resilient.
I also just set up a smaller tank with lots of moss and put the eggs in the moss had lots of success.
So maybe all is not lost?

Something that works that the Montreal Talk we had awhile ago.

Put the eggs in container with airstone and add some small ramshorn snails.
This seems to work well.
The problem I had was when they first hatched and trying to feed them.

What type of corys are they?

They're Peppered Corys
