Hatching & Raising fry

[bigamefish]

You just answered all my questions !! Now I just have to go pick up some males!

[bettafish]

Hey guys! My catfish just unexpectedly spawned. I am completely shocked. They are Bronze cories, and there are 3 of them in a 14g tank with a betta and a whack of Red Ramhorn snails. I want them to live, but I don't have live food to feed them, so should I just leave the eggs alone, since I can't provide live food? I only have two types of bottomfeeder pellets. Advice is appreciated!

Hi bettafish,

Do you have another small tank to deposit the eggs or the Cory's and the bettafish. If you leave the eggs with the adults they will most likely be eaten. You do not have to feed live food. You can crush one of the pellets into a fine powder, but feed sparingly. You can also purchase frozen baby brine shrimp. Once the eggs hatch after about four days wait until the yolk sacks dissolve before feeding the fry.

I scraped off a couple batches of the eggs (there were about 5) into a container thats being floated in the 14g, and I hope they make it. I read they can be fed egg yolk too, is this right? I'm nervous about putting all of the batches of eggs into the container, as I squished some getting them off the side, they float off and make it hard to catch!

Would this apply to hoplo cats as well? They have laid eggs in a bubble nest attached to the crossbar. I need to do a waterchange tomorrow. I can try and do a water in and out at the same time to try and keep the levels up. They won't make it if they hatch though so I will need to try and remove them and put them in a floating nursery with an airstone.

The most success I've had so far was from doing absolutely nothing. I have a community tank and when my cories laid for the first time it took me by surprise, the eggs all hatched and i thought all the fry had been eaten and then about a month and half later two little cories appeared and now are almost big enough to start breeding themselves. My wee pod of cories have spawned a good few time since then, every time i do a 50% water change actually, and I have some newly hatched fry in a wee net right now but i've never been successful, fingers crossed this time

My elegans laid eggs today. They're tan colored, but look like they have a bit of a white center. Any idea of they may be fertile? The only male in the tank is a peppered cory.

i have sterbai corys lay her eggs on the glass and plants, i scraped them off with a sharp knife and put the eggs into a perware with the water from the tank and clipped the perware to the side of the tank, so the water will stay warm as it floats inside the tank. day 3 they started to hatch by day 4 all had hatched. i change the water daily with the water from the tank. now i am feeding liquid fry i use a syringe (without) needle to suck up the waste from the perware. they are a great little catfish.

I see it is recommended to add methylene blue. How do I dose this? I have 5 grams in powder form. Thanks in advance!

hi, its always good to learn from the experts, I am new to the cory world, although my peppers are spawning so much I'm having trouble keeping up with them. I haven't as yet managed to raise past 7 days old, although her last batch of 3 spawns all within a two week period seem to be doing well, oldest fry 7days old today.

Hello, I have done quite a lot of breeding Corydoras aeneus albino and I have about 500 fry in my tanks. I have about 250 that are just over 3 months old and they are barely 2cm tall. So would you have any growth charts to see if it's normal for them to grow so slowly? They were bred with microworms and groundfish pellets (Tropical, JBL, Dennerle brand). They are distributed in a 260 liter tank (70 cm x 80cm on the ground) and a 60 liter tank (30cm x 60cm on the ground). How big are your corydoras fry at this age?
