Help!!! Corydoras Breeding

[thewahakid]

Yes they are small, but as Troy brought up, generally they are really unable to swim due to the egg sac they are using for food. The one fry I saw was swimming freely and with no egg sac. It was also larger than I generally see egg fry. So now I don't know what to think. I will just have to see if it survives not being eaten by parants.

From what I have been reading. the fry should eat mico. org. out of the sand. for about a week. couldn't find to much info on them. but the best info I found was on planet catfish...

Just on update on my albino corys. Spawn about every 5 days now with around 75 to 100 eggs per spawn. Generally the eggs are gone by the next morning, but I have seen my albino pleco's snacking on them. I have now 3 kittens (all from different spawnings). They hatch in only 3 days. What is surprising is that they don't really have an egg sac and begin to immediately feed from the bottom. I have a planted tank with a lot of well developed moss, algae and hiding places where they can bottom feed. They are tiny and difficult to find, but I have been keeping track and if left on their own, only 1 may survive per spawn if left on their own. The first kitten is already 1/4 the size of an adult, so they grow fast.

Cool! I've raised cory's before. You can remove the eggs from the glass just after they hatch - they are sticky still and you kind of lightly rub them off and rub them onto either the glass in the new aquarium or a piece of slate.

That's awesome, congrats!
