Breeding Corys.. My Journal.

[Harlequins]

Avoid liquifry if you can, it polutes the water something crazy. Try for the hakari/hikari first bites, its a powered food and you can suck it up with a eye dropper do da thingy. I got some massive ones off eBay which have been really useful

+1

I've used hikari firstbites,but prefer to use finely ground mini granules mixed with a teeny bit of tetramin baby which has proved fruitful to all my wee fry this past year.
Similar way of feeding has mentioned,i use a little tank water in a pot,add the food then using a turkey baster,suck it up and put straight in the tank

Day 5 of new spawn and nothing yet.
Expecting to see the little fellas when I return from work before I go visit the wife in the hospital.

All eggs hatch by 6pm last night. 34 I think.
May have to start the breeding again as egg tank is now empty.
