Ktttk Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Congrats. I recommend having half a cm of sand as substrate - they will have a good time rummaging through it looking for food. What cories did you get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr pleco Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 well my setup is three feamles to four males bare bottom tank with box filter inside ,a heater thats it ...feed them up before hand ,introduce them then drop temp either big water change with 4+degree colder water or simply unplug heater overnight if females are conditioned well (i.e well rounded ) should wake up to them breeding .. sorry ahead of myself what kind of corys as this will determine the setup im talking albino/bronze corydoras .... juli or swartz corys need a different setup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dimebag Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 i used a cm of sand as well, and yea just a sponge filter and heater. when i was breeding them i would drop the tank level to about half in the morning, then fill up with cold in the evening, and then by bout lunchtime the next day they would have finished laying, and i would scrape all the eggs out with a razor and raise them seperately with good sucess rate.
