Sterbai Spawn.....again

[Jdmcfast]

I just pulled about 50-60 sterbai cory eggs hopefully I'll have better luck this time!

Super!!!!!!!!!!!......good luck..what are/were the spawning water's parameters???..temp,PH,etc..what did you do, if anything, to set em off??

[Jdmcfast]

I've been using a tap/RO mix and temp of 80-82, then a couple days ago I did a big 75%WC with cool 73-74 degree 100% RO water, unplugged the heater and threw in some blood worms. Then yesterday I fed them frozen krill and put a blanched piece of collard green in there and bing,bang,boom eggs everywhere and I do mean everywhere. I also had the hot mag running on that tank so the current may have helped too idk.

How's those eggs doing? If they're anything like the std cory's....don't siphon out the mulm....I've discovered that altho some eggs die off, the survivors thrive off the mulm. When begin to see fry, poof the mulm and watch some fly out......
I feed micro worms for first feedings, remember they don't have egg sacs to sustain them like angels and some other fish do...

[Jdmcfast]

It appears most of them got fertilized but I'm not seeing any wiggles yet

[Mugwump]

I don't believe they wiggle much, like angels....they pretty much just pop out...soon

Oh cool we'll maybe I'll have a surprise when I get home today:))

[Mugwump]

When you see one...the others are there too..or not far behind...that's when you gently poof the mulm.....LOL..they'll be small and fly everywhere....

[Jdmcfast]

I have about 6 that have hatched and survived the rest look darker and should hatch tonight.....hopefully
