Bronze Eggs, Now What?

[minnnt]

Just notced they have just laid a load of eggs, what should I do? Remove the cory's so they don't eat them or leave them in? They're tho only things in there.

About half way down it mentions breeding.


It does mention removing the adults

Take the adults or the eggs out, otherwise they will get eaten, you will need an airstone near the eggs to stop them getting fungus

Adults are out, I have moved the filter so its facing them with a bit of venturi action.

Anything else?

Thanks matt and siobhan.

Congrats on them spawning

Has long has theres a good airflow around the eggs they should do fine,wait for around 3-4 days and hopefully they should start a hatching

Good luck

pluck off any white ones you see if you can

 

[minnnt]

Ok will do. If nothing comes of this lot then i will call it a day i think as i can't really afford to be buying something more expensive as a breeding project. Would love a few more bronze though to build my numbers up.

i'll send you some of mine if yours dont make it

All eggs have gone a nice shade of brown now, 2 had gone white so quickly plucked them off with some tweezers. 3 days tomorrow, so will be eagle eyed tomorrow and friday and will net the filter too.

Glad to hear there doing well. Only having to remove 2 is good going

Thanks Sioban.

They have all hatched and see the odd one every now and then, but thats it. Should they be really visable?!

Closer inspection has revealed about 150 or so eggs, so a few more than i thought.

At least mate... If i get 10 survive i will be over the moon!

There so tiny when hatched (not that i've had any ) i don't think i would spot them either. 150! boy thats a lot, send some my way once there big enough

Impossibly small to start with but darken up after a few days, i would suggest some decapsulated brine shrimp eggs placed in each corner of the tank as thats where fry normally gather up. gluck
