Greetings. Found my first eggs from my CW049's this morning. Unfortunately, all were non-viable, but that did not diminish my excitement, in the least. lol. I'm happy to see any first attempts at spawning and I hope that in usual Cory fashion, they learn the ropes, quickly. Stay tuned. Cheers. - Frank

Frank, congratulations on the spawn.

I'm sure it really DID diminish your excitement, even if it was just a little bit. But as I said elsewhere, a basic fundamental step to success in breeding any fish is that you get eggs - if they are not viable, turn bad or something else, it's still very much a step in the right direction to get eggs.

Great Frank

Cross my fingers for next batch to be good.

Congrats Frank! I'm still trying to get my CW051 to spawn. Would you mind sharing your water parameters?

Greetings,

@ Mats: OK, I confess. I was slightly gutted, but I got over it quickly. lol.

@ Kim: TYVM Kim.

@ Dave: Sure. The pH is 6.8, TDS 100, temp is 76º. They are in a 10 USG tank with fine sand, 2 sponge filters and a bit of moss. All the eggs were laid on the glass in groups of 5 or 6, randomly throughout the tank. I do 50% WC's, 3x per week, which is standard for my fish room, due to slight overcrowding in many of my tanks. Live blackworms supplement a varied diet, at least every other day. There are only 4 of my original group of 7 remaining and I believe that they are 2 males and 2 females, but one of the fish may be a CW051, which possibly could account for the non-viability of the eggs. I hope this helps and good luck. Be sure to put me on your list as juvies become available.

Cheers. - Frank

Well done Frank, only a matter of time now before a viable batch comes along I am sure.

Regards
