C.trilineatus: Breeding Like Rabbits...

[AlexAndCarmen]

Morning §tudz

How are those fry doing?? Bet they're getting big now. Had anymore spawnings??

Got any more pics of the babies??

 

[§tudz]

I've stopped saving the spawns and added danios to eat the eggs
they are coming along nice, although their growth has slowed now.
they'll be a month old on the 21st

I'll see what I can do tonight for new pics

 

[§tudz]

here are two pics of them, a few are really light coloured and others are very dark, seem the have very deep, thick black markings.

not sure how many are left now, I know a few have died, but I have neglected them a little the last fews days as had some RL probs, but all is ok now.

here the pics:

Wow, they've grown loads. Looking really cute now. Are you still only feeding microworms? I generally do for a couple of months, before moving onto anything commercial.

Mine are growing nicely now too. I have three from a spawn a few weeks ago and I think another three hatched over the weekend. I bought two big Trilineatus from the Wharf the other day, so hopefully they'll all get to spawning together and bless me with some fry. I have loads of tank rearranging to do soon though, got some plecs arriving tomorrow, and a few cories and my L260's are moving tank in a few weeks. Tanks are so much fun .

Babies look great, keep up the brilliant work. You said you had some RL problems, whats RL??

Speak soon

RL = Real Life

and thanks,

I have started feeding crushed pellets, high protein ones and normal catfish pellets. as well as microworms

Looking good. Thats a lot of cories

 

[§tudz]

well I think its been a while now since I updated the photos, so its day 43, here is a pic of them now, the two batches are now mixed together, and you can see the differences here, as some are huge compared to the others.
Another month or so and I'll be able to sell them.

any way enjoy the images:

great pics and thanks for the update.. these little guys sure seem to be doing well.. keep up the good work.

Aaaw, they are too gorgeous. They've grown so much. I was wondering last night how they were getting on.

The fry in my net are doing well. Finally been able to raise a few. On a sadder note, the huge female we bought about 3 weeks ago has died!! We found her in the Java fern last night. But when we lifted it up to remove her, about 4 Trilineatus babies swam off in all directions . They won't be her fry, as she never spawned while we had her. But we have babies and they were actually quite big. So hopefully they make it too.

Great pics as always. Brilliant work.

Thanks,

Sorry to hear of your loss

Another month or so and they'll be ready for sale I think, so get your tank ready Prob wont be till the end of Jan that I get them to you but hey

Also organised with the not-so-lfs about them buying the fry too, so the wheels are now moving.

If you dont mind me asking how much is your FS buying them for or howw much credit are you getting as on of my corys is pregnant

[§tudz]

I'm not sure they will give me a price when they are ready to sell, and I'm getting cash for them or a cheque not credit.

Just been reading the thread nice work studz. I brought my first cory a few days back and can see why people like these fish

 

[Kuhni]

I only count 14 fry? Were there that many casualties?

I think my cories that were sold as juliis are actually what you have.
