Cory Behaviour

[scotty]

i have six peppered corys,one of the corys is doing a shimmery dance in front of the other one,but it is showing no interest at all,is this natural behaviour for corys?

cheers

Yep - normal behaviour

 

[scotty]

so is this possible spawning behaviour?

It's possible. Here are some videos that you can compare them to.

nothing quite as intense as that,the male seems to be quivering in front of the female,but she is showing no interest at all

well done my usual weekly waterchange in my cory tank,checked back on them after an hour,and there's eggs on the glass,when should i remove them and where should i put the eggs

If you dont remove them then its more than likely they will get eaten,

Gently roll them onto your finger and put in a tub inside your tank with tank water,pop an airstone in and in 3-5 days you may get wee fry

could i put them in a net with the airstone underneath?

could i put them in a net with the airstone underneath?

I think you can...just make sure the net doesn't tip over

Yep thats how i hatch my eggs out in the fry tank, although when i done this in the main tank the other fish suck the eggs through the net,so hence i recommend a tub if its in the main tank.

 

[scotty]

is there any way of telling if there fertilised???

will do it this way next time,they all hatched but got through the net into the tank,so i don't know if they have got eating.
