What kind of catfish?  "Catfish"  is a big category. I have several types of Corydoras.

I'm not afraid of work.  I can lay down right next to it and go to sleep.

Dale, Are you going to be at the GCCA swap on Sunday ? I might want some Julii .  Also some green ones,Like Jon said all of ours are getting old and we could use some more.

Sorry, I don't go to the GCCA Swaps.  I don't have any green ones or Julii. Do have Ehrhardti and Paleatus.

Last night when I went to feed the fish I noticed a bunch of cory eggs stuck on the glass of my 150. That is the Altum tank so there is no chance of survivors if any eggs hatch. I did attempt to scrape some of the eggs off of the glass but couldn't get to the ones on the bottom.  huh

I dropped the scraped off eggs into a jar of tank water with an airstone because I didn't know what else to do and it was late and I was tired. huh There are still some eggs in the 150 on the glass. huh

Thats's the way to do it.  I use specimen containers or Marina breeding boxes that can hang in the tank to maintain the temperature.  A drop or two of meth blue and you are on your way to baby catfish.  Look for movement after 3 -4 days, the little ones are tiny.

Thanks guys. There are some still in the tank and the eggs are not white but clearish. I also noticed a few under the driftwood. The tank is BB so they adhered to the bottom glass. I have a few different types in that tank so I'm curious as to which species these belong to. lol

When they start scooting around the bottom of the container I usually put in a small portion of Java Moss.  They seem to do better that way.  I think there are tiny creatures on the moss that they eat.  Also put in some microworms for them to eat.
