caserole Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 I just had my bronze go for it. I find you need to spawn them twice, once to clean out the old eggs the second you get good fertility. I was told by an old timer cory breeder that due to the dashing around corys should not have a smaller tank then 2'( other then the small species of cause). Don't know how ture that is thou.

rcon021 Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 small tanks should be okay for Aspidoras and small-medium cories. But not large ones. I have not tried it personally, only did in a 2.5ftand 4ft. Members of other forum say to do it in atlease a 2ft tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat692 Posted October 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 by the way what species theyre albino just seen an egg swimming with a little tail will feed well as if I take the parents out theyll have to go back into the hard to catch tank and hope they dont eat too many eggs :evil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caserole Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 You can always remove the eggs with your finger and place them in a container with a little blue and a bubbler (float in tank). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiuh Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 thats exactly what i have done...put the eggs in the breeding trap and put some M. blue in. because the eggs are sticky...the fungus ones will spread to one another? i got lazy there and leave them to rot. :-?

caserole Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Blue stops the fungus long enough for the good ones to hatch then sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 You can scrape the eggs off the glass with a razor blade but I had best success by spawning one pair in a bare tank and leaving the eggs to hatch. What works for you is the way to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 My Skunk Cories spawned last night but i have exams so i cannot seperate out the eggs. Next time they spawn i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiuh Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 What works for you is the way to go. i agree...i used a bankcard instead. i waited till the eggs are few hrs old..so they are solid. newly deposited eggs are a bit soft and will pop, if trying to remove it when its laided.
