What do you feed your fish to induce spawning Jon?

There are very few personal problems that cannot be solved through a suitable application of high explosives.
There are only two types of people. Italians and those that wish they were

Dots are eating BBS and crushed flake, Jon.  Congrats on the Cory spawn.
Always move forward. Never look back.

Freeze dried or live?

What about other fish like your angels?

The angels, I like to bulk em up on high protein foods, blood worms, brine shrimp, etc.....when they get in the mood, cleaning, and tubes are showing, I'll do a nice cooler water change.....they pop same day, next day....

Congrats on the Corys Jon.  ;D ;D ;D I have to isolate my Corys because even if they spawn I will never see them because of the Angels and BNs. ??? ???

I know.....we have a pod, but other trios are spread around working the tanks. Every once in a bit we'll find eggs all over the glass in those tanks too...

How many do you keep in a pod? What size tank and I assume they are all one type. I need to set something up. I have a 16g BF that I will be freeing up in a couple of days. It's either going to be the snot growout or I am going to put cories in it.

That might do fine, we use 20L's and 30L's....for that size...9-11-13..? would do the trick.....but smaller groups 5-7 will work too...biggest pod we had was 21-23, or so..... ;D....when the spawning got going all the glass had deposits stuck to them....plants/filter intakes/rocks...you name it...

What tickles me is that of all the fish I sent you are most excited about the worthless dots.  You can pick up sub adult dots at any LFS for next to nothing.  It's fine.  Dots turn me on, too.  They are only under appreciated because they're so easy to breed.  I'm waiting for my duck weed to arrive before I put mom and pop Dot together.  I need the duck weed.  A box full of snots will be lagniappe ;)
Always move forward. Never look back.
