Just come from your Angel breeding thread and seeing as I enjoyed it. I think I better subscribe to this one Good luck!
Click to expand I think I'll pick up a plastic one tomorrow. Any pointers with those? Thanks snazy. The only time I had success in actually raising cory fry was when I set up a fry tank and hatched the eggs there. I think I had 9 bronze fry, and I still have them about a year and a half later.
Every other time I've attempted hatching them in the mother tank it doesn't happen. Good luck with yours! I did use a plastic one with slits at the bottom, not the sides.
When newly born they can go through that by accident, for example if you flush water over. My clown loaches sucked them up once from there too. But then I covered the entire bottom with sand afterwards and haven't lost one.
After days they are too big to go through. Then adding tank water a couple of times a day will do as "water changes". The sand prevents the babies from falling and the water still circulates. I had it setup like a mini tank, with some floating plants, moss, moss ball, some other cuttings to block the light from the tank. They were perfectly fine. And I fed them tetra baby min 24 hours after hatching, making sure it all sinks.
Some syringe to suck up uneaten food then as well will be needed. The food becomes fluffy on top of the sand after 24 hours if not eaten. Good luck with the babies. Mamashack Fish Gatherer. Sounds like you are working in a busy maternity unit! Good luck with the breeder net - have never used one so can't advise there.
Will be followiung this thread as avidly as the angel-fish one! Okay, at some point the eggs hatched! They are so different than angel eggs, I think I should have researched some more. I'm a bit frustrated, as I can only see one swimmer in the breeding net. He's def too big to squeeze out of the mesh, so that's good, but trying to feed them is ridiculous, all the food just sinks through the bottom. I didn't realize they would go from eggs to swimming in such a short time, and on top of that my camera is broken I think so I can't get a good video.
He looks like an egg that's swimming around lol. But out of 20, only 1? I think i missed something here for sure I'll keep looking, maybe I missed some but I don't think so. I picked up a plastic breeding box today but there's no way I can move him now Only a very very small amount. I fed them first bites by Hikari, some after a few days feed them baby brine shrimp , or microworms live. This time I was lucky enough to have a brislenose pleco that would suck any excess food through the net and kept it clean for me, otherwise you need to suck the net daily to keep the excess food and poop debris down.
The very tiny fry need to be able to find food and be able to reach the surface so if you use a spare tank it needs to be smaller in the beginning and not be fully filled up. Also do daily or every 2 day water changes , not much as you can't go lower then the bottom of the net breeding mesh if you use that method If at first you don't succeed with your cory hatching prospects don't give up and keep trying.
You cories are happy and breeding and will most likely keep breeding for some time. Some can't hatch the eggs, others hatch the eggs but can't keep fry alive, and others just have the touch, or beginners luck. That is the mystery and joy of fish raising. That cory was super special. I learned my lesson well and have had success since then. Good luck with your cory raising! I can't add much to what Pecodragon has said, except I don't use net breeders as I've found fry tend to get stuck under the plastic frame as they're so tiny, I use plastic tubs.
I use alder cones but the same applies, change the water before hatching. Don't give up, sometimes it takes a while but before long you'll have a tub full of wrigglers. Surprisingly the eggs have remained untouched and are still on the glass and plants.
I read that they will become a beige or tan colour and stay white if they weren't fertilized properly. Would a 2.
I counted about 60 eggs and maybe 10 are moveable without me physically touching them. Coradee do you also run an air stone in the tubs? How often? I will take a look for one today though as I also have female platys who I'm sure will have babies in the future.
Thanks for all the helpful tips. I really appreciate and will be buying some stuff today for them. Yes I run an airstone with not too fierce a flow. A water change is only necessary for the eggs if you've used meth blue or other fungus treatments..
A plastic breeder can be used but cover the slits with some old clean tights or the newly hatched fry will be able to get through them. The eggs go a creamy brown colour after about 24 hours if they're fertile, if they're white or fuzzy after that then remove them.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like any were fertilized. I'll start removing them after dinner because I can see some of them starting to fungus over. Better luck next time! She seems to do this after I've done a larger water change and cleaned the gravel. Is that common? When I had a female cory cat in my tank and would end up with eggs every days I used this for the eggs. It hangs on to the side of the tank and it cycles the tanks water through it.
It's nice because you don't have to do water changes for the fry and it keeps water circulating that keeps the eggs getting fungus. It's always best to use the same water as the tank they were born in, it raises the odds greatly of them hatching. Water flow is important. Also if you have red cherry shrimp they will eat the fungus but leave the eggs alone. As for why she does it after a water change it's because it partially imitates the conditions that they normally breed.
