Me too I managed to save about 20 eggs Friday night so fingers crossed anytime now

 

[corylover]

got 10 eggs and 5 babies so far I woke up to late and it wasn't a big lay cause puggy is still recovering from the emeralds.

 

[Canary bird]

Nothing yet ! Maybe unfertilised ah well, I'm gonna give it a few more days my first babies took nearly 2 weeks to hatch !

 

[corylover]

bring the temp to 82f that increases the gestation.

 

[Canary bird]

Thanks

 

[Canary bird]

I've increased the temp, and moved the breeder box next to the heater, I hope in a couple of days something happens also the last time mine hatched was a heat wave and that's why ,,, up the temp

super finely crushed flakes work best for me when i raised fry!

I just got back home last night so I went to check on my fish. turns out maybe all 4 female Corys that are old enough laid eggs. I counted 200 on the front of the tank. plus 92+ on the fry pen. then add in the 20-30 I pulled before counting. finally the close to 50 on the side of the tank. XD didn't mind them breeding but dang. all I did was a 50% water change and then all this like always. they love water changes XD. well I am using the breeders pin for the Cory fry from before. I just have the 2 runts in with the eggs since they are to small to eat them. not that they aren't thinking about it XD. in 1 week I can transfer the 18 bigger fry to the 10g they would be 1 month by then. then I will transfer the 2 runts to the breeders pin till they get big enough to join the rest. hoping that I don't have another batch this big for a while XD. I am running out of breeders pins or fry pins XD. well wish me luck XD.

May only be one female. I had one bronze cory lay more than 500 eggs in one spawning

Freshly hatched brine shrip are what I used when i bred corys. then they advanced to crushed flake and dried earthworm powder (re-hydrated and formed into a ball) as they grew.

Omg ! 500 ! That's some eggs I bet she was exhausted after that lot ?

That was her second spawning in six weeks. The first time, she spawned around 200 if I remember correctly. That was what I actually counted, I think there were more.

It is amazing what some fish can produce - I used to breed carp, koi etc. Carp can produce in excess of 100,000 eggs per kilogram of bodyweight. In the wild, less than 1% would survive to their second year! Its all about safety in numbers.
