Corydoras guapore spawning

Post by C-Magnier »

Hi,

done yesterday :D.

about 10 eggs in a little box, very difficult to see them in a planted tank.
Hope that it will hatching!!

I read on corydoraworld that the fry is difficult to rise. What should I do to make this experience completed?

More information on the tank, water parameters, the spawn later!

Fantastic!

When I get fry from "elegans-shaped" corys (well, guapore is bit off there) I let the eggs hatch in a mature tank with lots of javamoss and oakleaves. This gives the fry plenty of infusoria to feed on.
Best regards,

Hi,

I still waiting for hatching. Eggs look OK...
I had prepered a nursery with java moss, clamped in the main tank. I hope that it will be good.

Thank you Kim M for your advice!
