After my disaster with a dodgy heater killing off my first batch of fry…I’ve now got more. I set up a spawning tank full of java moss and hornwort(I think) Added 6 adult cpd’s, I think I managed to put 4 females to 2 males, left them alone for a couple of weeks, feeding live foods…and hey presto, babies.
I’ve now removed the adults and am hoping to get a good batch of fry out of them. Can’t work out how many there are yet because of all the plants! I’ve also added some tiny baby albino cories that hatched a couple of days ago!
Such a relief t find they’ve still got it in them!
Kwell done! Although the babie coies maywell eat any eggs that have fallen through the plants – I was wandering why i wasnt seeing any new fry for a couple of weeks, and one day i noticed a baby peppered cory, who’s egg must have survived from when i removed its parents and made the tank a CPD tank. a few days after I removed him I saw fry again…
be sure to put some photos up of your fry
Well done
, its always great to see fry, it shows that your doing it right.My 2 new V tanks arrive tomorrow then its my turn to get fry again.
Mfg Peter
Congratulations on your new fry Now comes the hard part raising them Having raised two broods i can tell you that you need lots of infursoria fed at least 3-4 times a day Wishing you well andGOOD LUCK
Fry doing well so far(still can’t see how many there are). been adding a few microworms as well as liquifry 1 as they look like they are just about big enough to eat them. Got some bbs bubbling away ready for feeding tomorrow. Think I might need to set up a smaller spawing tank and use the one the fry are now in as a grow out tank. Just gotta figure out where to hide it so hubby doesn’t moan!
KFry growing nicely, I reckon there’s around 30-40 plus two tiny albino cory fry who managed to survive. I’ve set up a smaller spawning tank and transfered 5 adults to that to see if they’re happy to spawn in there. That way I can use the 2ft tank that the fry are in at the moment for growing out.
Fingers crossed I won’t have any mishaps this time! Mind you the tank that the fry are in isn’t heated so at least I don’t need to worry about them getting cooked! :lol:
KWell done katkin, what sort of temperature is your tank at if it is unheated?? Did they spawn in the unheated tank?
yes they spawned unheated, but this house is alot warmer than my last place. The tank temp stays around 24-26C with no heater in a 2ftX1ftX1ft tank. In fact I’ve only just started closing the windows where the tanks are, at night as the temp drops. I’ll check the ph etc on Sunday as I haven’t checked it since we moved in. Just been too busy. I will also try and get some pics sorted out.
