Humm, more and more it looks like all my 5 Orange Lasers are all females. I got 4 of them about 2 months ago and last month I got another one since they seemed they are all females. And I pick the skinny one among the 3 they had. And one wasn't looking good so my choice was pretty much one or other. And they are all good adult size. And they have been dancing day and night for a month but no eggs. And I was still hoping that 5th one is male but now I think they are all females . That would explain no eggs although the biggest female start to swim/dance more frantically near the top of tank for days and weeks and month now and rest follow around her as well but no head tickling or nudging stomach area. And 4 of them is pretty plump especially 1 of the biggest one looks ready to burst.
For a while I thought they are tough to induce to spawn so I did many things. But now I am pretty sure I might have all females, definitely 4 of them out of 5 and 5th one is start to expanding the waist line. So I guess I better go look for some husband(s) for them before the big one burst.
It seems I almost always end up with more females than males when I buy the Corydoras from the store. I start to wonder if it is because I tend to pick the big healthy looking one and pass on the small skinny looking one.
I hope the store have some today. I'll go see if they have any beside I should bring in some C.Melanotaenia anyway.
I also sent out C.Melanotaenia in the mail for first time today. I hope they make it all right. I guess I will know in few days.
