Re: breeding C031 Bondi
Hi,
yes, I had a good dozen of spawns this year.
The eggs are quite small and numerous. Usually there are lots of eggs unfertilized (30-50%). It's therefore important to remove the unfertilized ones, otherwise there is a high risk that other eggs also catch fungus.
The fry takes brine shrimp nauplii right from the start and they grow very fast with this food (3 cm after 2 months). They are comparitively robust but a bit sensitive to stress. I had around 50 in a grow out tank, after having caught some out of the tank the remaining ones poisoned themselves which I noticed to late...
You can find some pics here: Erster Erfolg bei Corydoras bondi, unfortunately the text is in German.
Do you have more specific questions ?!
Cheers,

Re: breeding C031 Bondi
has been bred fairly regularly by a number of aquarists over the years.
I first bred then in 1980 and have detailed spawning details of this species, along with another 152 logged in my new book "Breeding Corydoradinae catfish" Second edition.

Re: breeding C031 Bondi
thank you for ur replys, i have no question about raising the fry, i normally puit them into ther own tank and do 5 to 7 water changes a day, i find this method very sucessful.
wonder how u manged to triger them to spawn? what was ur p.h, and hardness?
how many water changes was u doing?

Re: breeding C031 Bondi
Hi,
as stated in the linked thread: 23 °C, pH 7.5, KH 2-3 ° (German unit); 2 or 3 water changes of about 10% with cold water within 4 days resulting in a temporary temp drop of about 1° C. Before I kept them at 26-27 °C.
As far as I remember I started 1-2 weeks before the first spawning with significantly increased feeding with deep frozen artemia and living grindal worms.
Once succesfully triggered they will spawn quite regularly.
