At least 3 of my 6 C. Trilineatus have started breeding activity for the first time in my community tank. It started with the male acting very strangley, shimmying and vibrating his whole body infront of one ofthe females. This went on for a number of hours until she finally adopted the T position for a minute or two and promptly charged of the back of the tank (it's a corner tank) with her pelvic fins clamped to presumably deposit her eggs. The problem is because of the way the tank is arranged, I can't easily see any eggs. This has happened with at least one other female but there seem to be no eggs. I'm guessing that the eggs are being eaten by other fish in the tank.
The question I have is whether to move the pair to my other tank (a small 30 Litre tank) that currently houses a baby Bristlenose. Would the eggs be safe in there with the Bristlenose if I move the corys back to the main tank after spawning?
Your thoughts would be much appreciated as this would be my first successfull breeding project!
