...should have known....LOL....did a cool water change yesterday with the regular fish room changes...Lori mentions cat fish spawning and ....boomba, just went down to the LF pod going berserk......holly moley....eggs are everywhere....they'll be done in a hour, or so.....thanks, sweetie....
Thats it? Just a teaser? ;) :)
You WERE right.......definitely would be fun to watch for a while.
THE BREEDING GODS HAVE STRUCK AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOUR WELCOME!!!!! :o :o :o :o :o :P :P :P :P
2038.5 miles away and we can still work some magic... LOL
Congrats Jon
That's awsome, now if mine would only spawn for me.
Might have over powered the mojo we sent to you jon.... The cats yesterday, I have 2 female albinos in one end of the tank one went yesterday and the other today... (have to fix that problem), the first pair of albino's are picking and getting ready to lay. Have a slate full from my now 2nd timer pinoy, DD are down and should be any time, Silver chocolate and Pinoy pair are making practice runs... On top of that I have 2 batches in hatching jars and another in waiting for them to start wigging... Loir think im crazy but NEED MORE TANKS!!!!!!

Yep, more tanks... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D...same issue here, 2 batches free swimming, 2 slates full, 2 caves full, and a bunch of pairs cleaning....but I did get to harvest the LF cory fry today....very nice spawn, good size too.. ;D
Lori....what an estimate on your egg count??
Aron thinks that there were about 20 that made it to the other container...not sure how many got dropped into the substrate....

the substrate monster always gets a few, no matter how good you get at rolling em off ....I should have about 75+/-....I'll try for a better count in the morning...
wow!! There may have been more before Aron noticed they were there!! I am hoping that now that they have gone once that we have seen we will see more the next time!!
Love is in the air as my albino cories spawned Friday afternoon too. I gave them several hours and then moved the breeders into another tank. After a short rest, they proceeded to decorate the glass in that tank too! It's amazing how such a small fish can produce so many good sized eggs.
Dennis
..yes, amazing is right....also, the way that not all the females are laying at once....it goes in waves...our pod can take a couple hours+ to finish up.....
Looked up in that 15 long again this am after the lights came on and ill be damned more cory eggs. I just have pulled another 20-30 eggs outof there again today.... fingers still crossed...

I've only got the one female in the group. One female & 4 males. She is a good big bigger than the boys though.
Dennis
....LOL......boomba!!!!!!!!!
was an awesome picture that Aron sent to me this morning!!! I just hope that we can successfully get little cats from the eggs!!! So exciting....
I've got fry in tank #1 this morning! ;D ;D ;D This time around I added some aeration and 4 drops of methylene blue after the spawn. It seems to have really cut down on the amount of fungus, (almost none). Even the unfertilized eggs as well.

....there will more soon.........congrats ;D
Thanks Jon. You have been a great help in my Corydoras spawning initiation. ;) I'm thinking about getting some of the black ones. I saw a bag at the GCAS swap and should have grabbed them.....
Dennis
..not sure what's going on here, I think my water may have been too cool....lost massive amounts of eggs...????....strange.....but I'll double check everything on the next one, that's for sure...
Sorry to hear that Jon. I'm sure sniff out the problem. I'm curious to find out too. Keep us posted. :o
Sorry about the bad luck Jon. I'm sure you'll get it sorted out.
Dennis
Thanks folks...got fry...but not like I expected....
Sorry to hear that Jon.
OMG Aron and I looked and all be dog gone we have cory cat wigglers!!! Now what do we do? :o :o :o
When do we do water changes, what do we feed them?
Moderate water changes to tank temp, feed micro worms right away, when swimming....they are born without an egg sac............congrats....have fun...
WOW!!! well today was moving day for these little guys!! They looked so tiny in the container that we put the eggs into and now they have moved up in the world to live with angel fry!!! Definitely see their little fins and wow what fat little tummy's they have!!! Can't wait to see them continue to grow!!!!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
uhohhhh guess what Aron spied again tonight!!!
Yeppers our wonder pod that graced us less than a month ago decided to lay eggs again!!! ;D ;D ;D
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D sweeeeet ! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
