Cute little bubs, congrats on the spawning :clap:

Do they just put eggs in the plants or on the glass as well?

temp is 27, they lay eggs after every water change of 40%, lay eggs on plants, driftwood, glass and filter inlets etc, just everywhere. I have 5males and 7females in my L333 4ft tank. cheers jk :thumbup:

i have found that my cories are the same as you just mentioned regarding breeding but i have found that if i leave the eggs in the tank my cats will eat the eggs plus if i leave the parents with the new born they will eat them?

have you noticed the same thing with your tril and errors?

you must always move the parents or large cories from the tank. I usually place the plant in the main tank and when full of eggs move to the other tank for hatching. cheers jk :thumbup:
