Hmm? Infertile Males Or Young Corys...

[Harlequins]

Well for the past 3-4 weeks i've got my bandit(metae) corys to spawn, i have been saving the eggs,but none of the eggs want to hatch...

I'm not doing things any different to my usual egg saving...so either my males are infertile or the corys are still to young to breed properly...

Heres hoping things change....

I hope they do sucessfully breed for you. I wonder if the eggs water temp has any baring on them hatching or not hatching, just a thought since different species require different temp triggers to get them to breed in the frst place.

Good luck and I hope nobody in your tank is firing blanks .

Thanks baccus

The tank temp is around 23 degrees has this hopefully is ideal for the metae's has i read they prefer lower temperature...

They are at it again pity about eggs ...perhaps they're still experimenting

Hi Harlequins

If you don't get viable eggs soon, it might be a good idea to add a few more males to your group. If you can buy them from a different source than the first batch it would be even better. BTW, you are conditioning them well with lots of meaty food, aren't you?

You are doing well getting them this far. Good luck getting them to hatch.

Thanks Inchworm

Yep daily doses of bloodworm etc ,seems to be spurring them into breeding,i know when i bought them a while ago they were quite small,and have grown nicely and filled out since.

I haven't seen them anywhere else local,but i'll see how they go,the store has sold out atm,so hopefully they may get more of a different batch in soon.

my corys have been going nuts, i took 100 eggs off the glass the other day, not sure what the heck they are either :\ they hatched out last night, one day after being moved. i think they musta been there a while
