Missed the spawn and lost all.

Post by Arlington »

Last night the wife and I went to see Act of Valor at the theater and when we came home I looked in my 100gal community tank and noticed the glass was covered in little white empty sac looking things. Approximately 75 or so eggs had been placed by my group of 7 Corydoras Aeneas and subsequently eaten by the plecos and tetras. Well now I know they are happy. How long before I can expect them to try again? I'm pretty sure none of the females are carrying any eggs now.

I picked up a group of 10 about 3 weeks ago. 4 females and 6 males and to my surprise there are spawns every 4-5 days of various sizes. I always lose them to the tetras and discus too.

Good luck with getting some fry out of them.
