Trilineatus Cories Just Keep Spawning...

[Harlequins]

- i don't want to say it but i think they're up to it again 'whisper whisper'

 

[MOW4T]

well done and good luck with the fry

 

[hughessomefish]

do you do anything special to make them spawn

 

[Harlequins]

I don't do anything special ryan,they just seem content to do it

I suppose good water conditions,good food and happy cories,even my ph is high in theory for cories 7.8-8.0

do you do anything special to make them spawn

I kinda did something special to trigger my C. trilineatus. Added a power head, lots of live food, WC from C. sterbai breeding tank.

What do you feed them harlequins?

What do you feed them harlequins?

I feed them on tetra prima mini granules,flakes,defrosted daphnia/bloodworm/brineshrimp(not all at the same time lol,using a turkey baster to put it right to the bottom of the tank)they go mad for it
cooked deshelled peas/broad beans every so often

More eggs only found 3 this time,so not sure whether they've been eaten or they've just started laying

Hmmm 1 of the eggs seem larger than usual,just wondering whether it might be a skunk egg???

Do you keep your fry or do you sell them?

 

[Harlequins]

Hi snowflake

Well i kept my first batch,but i will need to sell these if they get to adulthood,no room in the inn has they say...
