Tsarmina Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 i cleaned out my 3ft bristlenose tank yesterday and decided to put my peppered cories in it too. needless to say, they did not look at all impressed. at lunchtime today i was looking in the tank and saw some cory eggs. decided to pull them out and put them in a breeding net. i stopped once i reached 300!!! and i know theres more in the tank still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danilada Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Id love to grab some off you, when they hatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 thanks people. if and when they hatch and become old enough, i will be selling them on as i already have 10 adults (hence the number of eggs) :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 After reading about breeding Corys, I was just wondering if it was possible to breed my 3x Panda Corys? What would I need to do ? Would I need to get more as I've heard they need to be in bigger groups? How do I tell the sexes apart? Sorry for all the questions and would like to try to breed something different to platys. They're in a 60 litre well-planted tank with 2x ottos, 2x tiny BN, 8x Neons, 6x Black Widows, 6x platys ( I know its over stocked, but I do weekly water changes of 10-15% and haven't had any problems.) Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted September 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 mine were in a well planted 4ft tank, for a few months, and nothing happened. i moved them yesterday into a 3ft planted tank which had a 95% water change (left enough for the fish to swim in). it currently has: +/- 150 bristlenose babies and dad about 50 white cloud mountain minnows a breeding pair of siamese fighters and the 10 cories. from there they did it on their own as for sexing, the females are bigger than the males. thats all i know. from that i have worked out i have 5 females and 4 males. i'm still unsure what the last is. from what i've been told, it pays to have more boys than girls.

BK Posted September 11, 2007 Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 Panda's are one of the hardest to breed and is the reason they are 2-3x the price of peppered. Females are noticeably fatter than males. You need to fatten them up really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted September 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2007 once you see eggs in the tank, remove them and make sure you leave no leaf unchecked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 well, they have started hatching, though yesterday i removed a lot of eggs that had gone white and fuzzy, so not sure how many are left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted September 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Umm, how many days after hatching are they considered free swimming as they don't swim around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted September 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 ok, they were swimming around yesterday just finished moving them all to another breeding net in the same tank, as the one they were in is getting pretty grotty. Total eggs collected: 300 Total fry hatched and swimming: 56 not bad considering now to keep them alive till 30 days :bounce: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveo Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Put some peat in a pantyhose sock, this will help aid in thye fungi growing. That is they havent been fertilized, I have 500 eggs from my bronze cats however none of them were male so they just went all fungal. Keep them in their own tank I had better results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveo Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 I meant peat slows the fungi process sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 well, it looks like i only have one left. i have pulled out a couple of little bodies, but not even close to 55, so i think the bigger fish have been sucking them out of the net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janelle Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Is it okay to take the eggs out of water to moving them? I have only four eggs but if it's possible they can get sucked through the breeder net I'd rather take my chances and set up the other tank asap! How long does it take for them to hatch? The eggs have been around... three days, I think. I'm not confident any of them will hatch but I'm hoping. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 They are OK removed from the water. Put them in a seperate container with an airstone close to but not on the eggs. A drop of meth blue is optional Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 the eggs take about 5 days to hatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
