Trilineatus Cories Just Keep Spawning...

[hughessomefish]

i know what you mean i watched 20 fry die, in a span of a month...then i figured it out my three week old fry were eatting the new fry

It's always so sad to lose fish, even if you only had them for a couple days. My little male Sterbai just died last night, actually. The poor little thing, he was so pretty too, it makes me so sad. I don't know why he died though, as my water conditions are excellent, none of my fish have ever been aggressive to him, he always got enough food. It's so sad, and confusing. I guess it was either stress, or maybe he just died. Oh well though.

Aww hun,i'm so sorry to hear one died ,can't you take it back to lfs?

Here's the fry from the last 2 batches-

Cory fry are gorgeous though, i think you are lucky, i did have a cory that spawned every fortnight for about a year, after several attemps i did get about 40 to live to full term, it was hard work though, the hardest bit for about 2 months, and i think its when they progress from fry food to normal food, its a bit of a transition. If you have any for sale give me a shout id love some, di

Thanks, I don't think I can though, as i've flushed him already

Any skunk or panda eggs harlequins?

 

[Harlequins]

No panda eggs has yet,think they're a little small yet...

I think i had 3 skunk fry in the tank,but lost a few fry last week,think it may have been these,i haven't seen them in the tank since,i have seen the skunks in the T position 3 times.but havent found eggs has yet after this,though they may have hidden them well!

 

[hughessomefish]

I saw two skunks today at the lfs but dont have vaccancy at the moment but the urge to not buy them was hard but i seltteld by getting a elgans cory already have one so decided to get him this friend..and my golden platy is due soon so i have my hands full
