Thank you very much!
Yep, these two batches of bronze cories being my first experience with egg layers doubtless plays a part, it makes sense that you'd be more confident when you've been in the hobby for far longer, and have raised lots of fish before
I'm still pretty much a newbie to the hobby, let alone breeding, and neither spawn was really planned!! LOL. I'm partly more confident than last time since I have a better idea of what I'm doing, yet on the other hand, remember the losses from last time, and fretting over them to try to avoid the same happening this time!
True, I should have remembered the amount of adults making a difference! My first spawn it was two males, two females, and this current one pretty sure it's two females (one bronze, one albino) one adult bronze male, and one juvenile albino (think a male, but a bit too young to be sure). Once I've moved all the bronzes to the 57, there will be 15 aeneus cories together, more likely to get more eggs! Simple math, lol. Pretty sure only one female laid eggs for both of my spawns.
At what point do you decide that no more are going to hatch, and you remove the unhatched eggs? I was concerned that some might still hatch, but also didn't want to leave the wrigglers with eggs that would be going bad either, so I ended up moving the unhatched eggs to a different container to monitor them, then throwing them two days after the last one hatched.
