In the 29g cory tank, I have panda, sterbai and bronze cories in there and discovered around 60 eggs today. Its been a few months since I've seen any spawning behaviour from the cories.
THe problem is, I'm not sure if the eggs belong to the sterbais or the bronze - it shouldn't be the pandas are most of them are still juveniles.
Is there any way of determining whether the eggs are sterbai or bronze?
Last time around (6 months ago), the bronze cories spawned like mad and over 2 weeks I found about 600 eggs in total. Unfortunately, most of the fry did not make it. I ended up raising about 20 up until they were 4 weeks old, but eventually all but 3 died when I put them in the main tank.
Hopefully I get sterbai fry this time round and that I'll be able to get a higher success rate. Sterbai cories are extremely rare here and I finally found some the other day, they were sold for $20 each!
In regards to the eggs, I've taken them out and placed them all in a separate container that is floating on the tank water. I've added an airstone for water circulation and have some liquid fry food ready as soon as they hatch.
How long does it usually take for the eggs to hatch?
