Hello everyone,
I had a couple of questions about some Corey's breeding. I think these are pepper coreys. I have about 5-6 Corey's in this tank and always Thought they were cute little fish.:yes: never planned on breeding.
So yesterday I found some eggs on the glass, only about 5 were left (I had seen eggs previously and they were eaten) and took a guess that they must be from the coreys. I got them off the glass and found another two patches of eggs and put them in a plastic container with an airstone. One of the eggs hatched today but he died shortly after :cry:
I'm hoping for better luck with the rest.
So the parent Corey's are doing their thing again with male dancing and showing of his side and the girl mostly ignoring him. If I moved the adults to a small tank now Since they seem to want to mate, will they be happy enough to lay their eggs still in the small tank?
I'm hoping to be able to switch them to new tank allow them to lay and remove them again and allow the eggs to hatch in the small tank. Wasn't sure if moving them would stop them from laying?:dk:
They seem to prefer laying on the glass over plants, found some more eggs today, tho they get eaten very quickly in BN tank.
