Corydoras hastatus bred

Post by genes »

Hi All

I found 2 eggs attached to the tank silicon this morning from my hastatus tank. I have not bred corydoras before and any advice from experts here would be much appreciated. :D

Some questions,
1) Will keeping corydoras pygmeaus togther with the hastatus pose any problem when they breed? I have just added 6 pieces of pygmeaus with the hastatus just 2 days ago.

2) How many eggs do the hastatus usually lays? I read the number of eggs differs significantly when compared to the spawn of the pygmeaus.

3) Will the eggs be eaten since they are left unattended?

4) Should i try to scrape the eggs off the silicon rubber into a breeding trap/box and let the eggs hatch from there? My fear is that the eggs may break easily because they are so small.

Sorry for the long list of questions. Thanks for reading. :)
