Corydoras Concolor Breeding

[ridout]

My Corydoras Concolor have started laying eggs :woohoo::woohoo:

Does anyone have a good tip on how to get the eggs off the glass?
Want to get them as my barbs will start eating them.

Hi i used a stanley blade

 

[ridout]

Nice one. thanks for that. they have layed about 20-30 eggs so far, going to leave half of them in and see how they get on.

Congrats on the spawn :thumbup:

well done good luck with the eggs

well done and good luck with the spawn. Razor blade also works well. keep us informed. Cheers jk :clap:

Add a bunch of java moss or spawning mop then can just take the moss out when it has eggs in it.
if on glass best to use razor blade

does any body know any tricks on how to keep the cory's breeding? this is the first time the concolor's have bred and i would like to keep them going if poss so any tips would be great. i have bred other cory's before but never got a second clutch within a couple of months of each other. i will buy some java moss and a spawning mop tomorrow. any particular spawning mop ????

hey mate, congrats :clap: i feed my corys on wafer things, with bloodworm once a week (this helps spawning). My pandas normally spawn when they are just generally frisky :lol: but a cool water change is the classic trick (which works wonders!)
my corys lay on my huge onion plant. more males than females is the best ratio, and lots of space is good. Be careful not to cover the tank too much, my poor female sometimes crashes into things escaping the males any questions ask goodluck mate

i have another 5 concolor in with my 9 L134's, which i have just changed over to concentrate on breeding. i need to add some java moss which irene had advised then i think i'm ready for the fish to do their thing.

if i'm honest the L134's are the main aim. the cory's are just a bonus. fingers crossed.
