barbatus laid eggs at last

[Irene0100]

I had given up that they would ever breed, then out of the blue, no special w/c or anything, they have suddenly started laying eggs all over the glass.
there is not much info on them and what i read said the eggs are much the same as other cories, but they are definitely a bit larger than my panda cory eggs.
no idea if fertile of if they will get eaten by the adults.
I have 3 males and 2 females in a small tank at room temp.
so I have been cleaning out my QT tank and lowering the temp in there to use as poss fry tank - have to be optimistic -lol.

Fingers crossed for a fertile spawn. I would be temped to remove the eggs to prevent predation.

Cheers

Congrats on the spawning Irene and hope the eggs will hatch for you :thumbup:

well they ate the rest of the eggs overnight, and the few I had in the fry saver were there for a few days then disappeared, I assumed hatched, but no sign of any young. I kept feeding for some days, just in case they were just so small and well hidden, but no- nothing there.
So I think first spawns are often infertile, so I will await the next spawning!
