I just set up tanks this summer to breed cory's and angels.
My bronze cory's (7 in a 29 gal) started laying eggs the first part of November and have spawned every 2 days since.
I have been transferring the eggs(some on glass panes and some cut from the sides of tank) to a 10 gal tank and doing 50% change daily with methyl blue at full strength. Eggs hatch in 3 days and fry seem to be free swimming in a day or two.
Problem is some of the fry are getting so large they seem to be disturbing the newly hatched and the books say to leave the mulm in the tank, but I wonder how long I can get away with thet at this pace.
Has anybody experienced cory's to keep spawning and how long should I expect it to continue.
Thanks
Dave

Re: "Too much breeding"?
all of mine continually spawn and lay eggs all over. Every day I'd say , or seems that way.
