Corydora Breeding Rate

[fishfanatic2011]

My Bronze Corydoras are breeding weekly/fortnightly in a community tank. This is not corresponding with water changes. I'm just wondering whether this is normal? If I leave the eggs in the tank, they get eaten by other tank mates and I haven't had much success in re-locating them. Any advice would be appreciated.

You should get a breeding net to save those eggs. To what I know if the water conditions are right they will always breed when they get the chance.

Don't worry about the spawning. If the conditions are right, they'll continue for a time and then stop for a while.

If you want to save the eggs you will need a tank where they can have enough room to grow out. You might consider setting up a spawning/raising tank and then remove the adults once they have finished. That way you will get the maximum number of fry possible. They will not all grow up so don't worry about that.
