Foxglove Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 :bounce: :bounce: Five days after shifting my six cories to their new tank, there are eggs all over the glass! The only other occupants in the 3-ft tank are ten harlequins (and ramshorn snails!) I only noticed the cory spawning today, but they have been going mad, with little batches (three-ten eggs) on three sides, up and down, on the filter and driftwood... about 50 all up. Yay I love these fish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagonman Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Congrats! :bounce: I think Corys look so adorable spawning, buzzing all over the place :lol: ive got lots of buzzing round the place but no eggs so will other fish eat the eggs off the glass?

Alan Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Yes, and the snails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxglove Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 yeah, the eggs didn't last. I think they got to hatching stage but were eaten then. Next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpidersWeb Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Aww nuts!! How are the kribs going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carla Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 In fact the cories eat them themselves for breakfast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxglove Posted January 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 ugh, I didn't know that about cories. The little kribsters are doing really well! I went away for a week and came back to see them swimming all over the tank, with parents on guard duty. The little ones separate and swim all over, and they don't seem to be scared of the tetras. They are now too big for one swallow, but not out of danger I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxglove Posted February 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Just found one lone baby cory! :bounce: I was doing a water change and saw something wriggling by the siphon end. Took a closer look and it is about a cm long. Yay! Looks like it has some good survival skills. Pity there haven't been any other eggs laid.

Afrikan Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Oh awesome!!! Keep us posted on the little blighter :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxglove Posted March 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 an update. The one lone fry is now about 1.5cm long, and happy as. :bounce: I have had two lots of eggs laid a week apart, with the first lot hatching day before the second lot were laid. I've seen at least one of these babies alive. Twice I've spotted pin-head sized wriggles in the gravel! :bounce: Advice from the KapiMana crew last night was to take the latest lot of eggs out and raise them separately, though sitting in the same tank in a smaller container.
