Hi madattiver

It's encouraging to hear that it took your lasers a long time to spawn, but that they eventually did. I only have a few greens, but have a good sized group of orange ones. They all looked to be mature when I got them and have been in my tanks over a year now, but I've never seen eggs from either batch.

The black corys are the same way. When I got mine they were proven breeders and they started spawning and haven't really stopped yet. But, I've had a number of people ask me what I was doing to encourage it because their's wouldn't start. I think it might just be a matter of age because the batch I've been raising since last July has not started yet. They are a nice size, but not as large as their parent group are.

The earthworm sticks you mentioned sound interesting. Perhaps I'll give them a try if I need another order from them. I think they also sell bags, and with the aquarium society meetings coming up again in the fall, I'll be placing an order with Kensfish.com sometime soon.

Another of your fish I want to comment on is the gossei. They, along with the longer nosed seussis, are among my favorite corys. They are so colorful and pretty.

Lovely cories, I'm incredibly jealous as there's nothing on offer in my LFS like these. I really wanted some barbatus for a while now, but my tank is too hot (thanks to hubby's many lights for his plants - up to 82 degrees - or more some days, even with a fan on!). My bronze, albinos, metaes and trilins are ok though. Maybe my new tank temp might be lower as it'll be a plec tank so much less lighting....
