I don't actually know. :fun: I assume that I have not spotted them all at once. Even though they are getting easier to see, they are still hard to see when they hold still on the sand. I think somewhere around 22 - 25? They're fascinating to watch. They look wiggly like tadpoles when they are...

This is from yesterday. It is the best picture I have so far. I have seen as many as 16, but they are still easiest to see when moving. Because this one settled on the thermometer, it has nicely put itself where there is also something for scale. The thermometer is about 4 cm (2 inches) across.

I think it depends mostly on how similar/compatible they are. Some years ago (maybe 30!? :oops:) I bought a couple of cories, not knowing they needed friends (the person at the shop said they'd be fine with only 2 :rolleyes:). My dad told me otherwise, but when I went to find others of the same...

It's a nursery tank 30 cm X 30 cm X 35 cm (high). I've got a fair amount of sand in the bottom, so 25 - 26 cm water height? The recommended amount is 1 drop for every 4.5 litres 2- 4 times per day. I have been using 6 - 7 drops, 2 X per day. I thought that made sense when I was trying to...

Hi everyone, I wasn't sure if this belonged here, or somewhere else. It's related to corydoras, but not necessarily specific to them. I did a search and could not find the answer to my question. We have cory fry...

The sponge is part of one from an Eheim pump/filter that has an internal sponge. You can't see the fry, but they like to hide under there.

The filter is cycled. I keep some extra bits of filter media in the external filter for the mother tank, so I can use them to start new filter pumps or aquariums. I went to some other pet shops yesterday, and found an air pump and air stone. The shop said they would order a sponge filter...

I put a piece of filter media in there from another tank, and a few plants. I have turned the filter off. I did try to find an air stone the other day, but the pet shop I was at did not have any. I was thinking of making my own sponge filter but could not find the parts. I can try another...

A few have hatched. They are really hard to see, but I got lucky and caught a fry moment with my phone.

I put filter media, plus nylon over the little filter pump & I think it is still too much. I may try some other pets shops tomorrow. I did get some Liquifry, and started adding that to the tank. Hopefully, that will be enough. The eggs have gone a sort of sandy colour. Does that mean they...

I hope not. I hope you get a few surviours.
