Brilliant. and so sweet :wub: please tell me how you got them to breed, do you have a special breeding tank? What conditions do they prefer?

no they just breed in the community tank and i remove the eggs and put them in a net until they are a week old then remove them to the hex to grow on

to get them to breed i just make sure water is perfect and they get good food , bloodworms , blackworms , tubiflex , cucumber , butternut squash etc and that when i do the water changes i only add cold water to drop the temp in the tank , this encourages them to breed

Corys breed easily as long as they are healthy with good water then they'll breed :)

good luck Sarah x
 
if anyone can identify the babies from the pics i'd be happy lol
i know the little peppered is in pic 4
 
heres some pics from google

they lay them either on the glass or on/under leaves

The babies are adorable, pippoodle. Are you going to try to raise the new batch of eggs?

yes they are in the breeding trap at the moment and i can see the babies in the eggs :) (black dots )
they didnt lay many that i could get yesterday only about 20 on the glass the rest right deep in the plants and moss - tank is 2ft deep so i cant get anything out of it lol
got 2 fry in the aquaone that have survived so this lot might do aswell
just waiting for my 4 venezuelanus to spawn as the females are getting nice and round ;)
