NEONCORY
Fish Addict
It's been a while but I finally got some new eggs beside the same old C.Panda and Sterbai. Actually they hatched already although I wasn't expecting much since it was their first spawn. But I think I got about 50 wigglers out of the 100+ eggs I collected last Friday from the 4 C.Similis. I think they are 2 M and 2 F.
Anyway, this is how it happened. The late, late Friday night(actually Saturday early morning) I was doing the water change for the tank next to it before go to bed. And I notice the female Cory is holding the eggs in her fins(at fast I kind of hoped that is Green Laser since I have some in with C.Similis) but look closely and realize it is Similis.
And of course, I looked for a while where she place the eggs. It seems she does prefer the plants over the glass. Although there were not much plants in the tank but some Java Ferns attached to the driftwood and few some stem plants in the pots. And majority of the eggs were placed on the leaves of Java Fern when I collected the eggs in the morning.
The eggs were pretty big I thought. They sure are bigger than the Sterbai's and probably about the same size of Panda's.
The eggs maybe about the same size but the difference is C.Similis carry about 3 eggs per trip.
This was kind of surprised me as I wasn't actively try to breed them. And they are in the tank with few other fish.
Although I haven't grow much of any Corydoras lately since I got in some other fish that take care of their eggs and frys.(ABN and some Angels) Not to mention, I had enough C.Melanotaenia young occupying my big tank. Although I must send many group to it must be 12 different states I still have some. I probably list few more auctions of them in a week and try to move them most if not all so I will have more room. Of course, I will keep the breeding adults.
Anyway, I thought I should ask about the tip of C.Similis. I might have to shuffle things around and give them their own tank.
