How do cories breed?

[Coursair]

Lots of plants and grass should suffice I believe, it worked with my guppy fry anyway—otherwise I could just move the eggs into the floating breeder box and try that route ^^

How can you move the eggs ?? They will be stuck to the plant leaves or the glass usually.
That is why most people move Cories to a breeding tank and then remove the adults and raise the eggs.

The water needs to be pristine to raise fry. Floating breeder box is a Livebearer technique. Not used for Cories or most egg layers.

Keep the 10g or trade for a 20L to use as a breeding tank.

Well the only way to see what works for you is to just keep trying things till you get a good system going. Good luck with it, it's a lot of fun.

You can move the eggs with a razor blade, credit card, or rolling them off the glass and surfaces with your fingernails if you are really careful. If you do try to move them, wait a while to do it, preferably the next day if you can, so that the eggs will harden are easier to work with.

I didn't know they needed time to harden! I'm glad you told me! I was reading in an article that you can re-adhere the eggs to the sides of a breeder box and keep the eggs safe in there, with a air stone to keep them in ice water. That's what I read anyway! So a credit card, wouldn't have thought of that myself

to keep them in ice water.

Um.... I'm praying that "ice water" was a typo?

 

[alia258]

Oh yeah that was a typo, I meant nice water!

 

[LyndaB]

Phew! I feel much better now! LOL

 

[alia258]

Yeah, just meant to keep them in moving water
