my fat cory

[Tambo]

Took a quick snap of my Cory had him about 4 months now and the one next to him since the same time all he does is eat very greedy he looks like a tank next to the other one but hes the happiest little fish in the whole tank always out and about (looking for food):dk:

 

[foti]

Nice looks like you got a male and a female

 

[D-MAC]

I would say it's not a "he" as stated in you post :thumbup: probably have some eggs soon :yes:

 

[Tambo]

really? i just thought it was one hungry little cory oh well thats a plus i suppose

 

[Art_Gal]

I like your post...considering that just yesterday I too noticed one of my cories looking very "plump"...but happy. The 2 cories next to it didn't look as plump and I was wondering if this cory was getting more food than the others. Now we know :whistle:

 

[Tambo]

this happened today

dont know what to do all new to this is new to me lol?:woohoo:

 

[Art_Gal]

Congrats on the spawn! I know nothing about cory eggs, so I can't be of any help to you, but it seems as though the cory was "diagnosed" correctly :lol:

 

[Tambo]

had a look at the breeding logs to try and figure out what to do with them however i cant seem to get them of the glass without squishing or loosing them any help?:thumbup:

 

[D-MAC]

The eggs are quite adhesive...I use a old style razor blade to separate them from the glass

 

[foti]

yes best thing to do is remove them with a razor iv also used a spoon fork anything really but its true razor is best!
congrats with the eggs ild say look into getting some micro food for them they are tinny i cant see them once there born lol there just a spec with a tail that is see through lol
they are lots of fun to watch and raise

remember they dont need much to keep them alive just make sure that there is no other fish in with babies includung the parents!

Hey congrats on the eggsd mate!! I just wonder one thing, your gravel seems to be quartzite, it is really abrasive for cory's mouth isn't it?

If You want black sand, what you are looking for is Limpopo black sand, packaged by Unipac....As seen in tank below...I have just ordered some as I think it looks the part.:thumbup:

My bronzes are leaving little clusters of 20 or so eggs on a daily basis all over my tank.

Like you I failed hard trying to get them off the glass, even with a razor blade.

Today's batches all look 'broken' like some of yours, I am not sure of that is because they are not being fertilised properly or eaten but good luck with your bunch, I will stay tuned to see how you progress.
