Bronze Eggs, Now What?

[Jinty McGinty]

All is going well! Congrats granddaddy

Lol. Not even sure if they're still alive Have some fine BBS awaiting them, hopefully this will be adequate as i don't have anything else for them.

As said if i get enough to make my 3 up to 10 then i will be very pleased indeed!!

My bronze corys laid eggs on the 3rd but none hatched.Came downstairs this morning and they have laid more.

Can actually see a bit of movement on the surface of the sand now and have strated to introduce a very small ammount of fine BBS.

Long may it continue

Thankyou! Looking forward to seeing them develop.

It is a shame that it isn't a panda spawn or some other more desireable cory, but that can come in the future. I tried it with the bronze to see if i could do it as i already had them and before i go out and spend a bit of money on some rarer ones.

If these get to a saleable size then i will try and move them on for 50p each. Do you think that sounds ok?

Closer insection has revealed LOADS!! They're quite long, a lot longer than what I thought they would be. More like livebearer fry.

Really pleased and excited!

Just done a 10% water change. Will do another one tomorrow and so on.

You will find it quite hard to shift bronze corys for cash, especially on ebay, they often come up and i see a guy selling 50 for about £15 tops. Most of the local fish shops wont pay either as they are so common. Have to admit to seeing full tanks of them whenever i browse their stock. Pretty sure you could flog some on the forum here though.

I got rid of my Tiger Barbs yesterday, my bronze corys just spawned about 1000 eggs, lol stupid things

 

[minnnt]

Yeah i am confident in shifting them for 50p each mate. Postage always helps too.

What do you think to Metae? Would they sell for a bit more?

 

[Liam2368]

gold stripes or green lasers then i can buy some

 

[minnnt]

lol. These are what Mattlee used to breed. I'm tight though and don't fancy an out lay of about £8 a fish and having to buy 6. lol. Although i would probably only buy 3. Just like the Metae as they're similar to Panda's but without the cost.

Not doing it to make money really, but if i can sell a few and i get enough money back to get some fish food etc then i am a happy chappy.

 

[Tizer]

i was hoping to have a go at Metas they are ace. my male snuffed it though after the move to the big tank, bleh.

 

[minnnt]

I can get them for £3.25 each, is that good?

 

[Tizer]

yeah pretty decent price, cory prices fluctuate loads, adolfio corys are probably one of the best ones to breed, £10 in many shops, quality ones anyway

 

[minnnt]

Yeah they're a bomb. Considering 3 of the cw61 that are for sale in the classifieds seeing as they're so local.
