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.
Ehrhardti https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=475
Paleatus https://www.planetcatfish.com/common/species.php?species_id=271
Ok, Sorry, I read it wrong. lol Not enough coffee. We do still need the green ones. Jon will talk to you about them. Thanks..
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.

..yep, they love microworms....and a touch of 'guppy magic' or egg foo young' too.... |^|
