I have had them a couple of days and came home to this today

So tried to pick as many as could off (they were laid in all four corners of the tanks as well as on filters behind filters, only just remembered I should have checked the plants!)

Couldnt guess how many but couldnt peel individual eggs off had to gather clusters
My little caudimaculatus frylet is now 11 weeks old too!

verry nice hope the eggs do well. the black schultzei are amazing i would love some but there £15 each at my lfs so no chance there really lol.

by **lilacamy931** Thu 11 Mar 2010 - 21:10

I managed to get them £5 each then postage so really good buy, they are babies though so no eggs from these for a while though super gorgeous (they are a strong favourite of mine already) get some if you can!

Beauties all of them, those cories are camera hams aren't they? Very Happy

by **lilacamy931** Thu 11 Mar 2010 - 21:16

Thanks Sheenasoup and they certainly are, I havent had them two seconds and they love the camera and realise I mean food!

by **SheenaShoup** Thu 11 Mar 2010 - 21:27

Yeah

the food aspect has a certain affect on them doesn't it? I got one more fancy guppy and three more feeders to play with Su and Sniper and Golden and all of them know I mean food! Little piglets! They just get so hungry at the LFS with so many others competing for food! One of the neon feeders is so skinny I should have named him twiggy, but it's Shemp, Curly and Moe- My honey named them! And Marvel for the fancy split tail! They don't love the camera yet though! lolol

I love cories, my two laid eggs once on the side, by the time I had found something to get them off with they had been eaten! Evil or Very Mad

lovely pic`s amy,

i noticed it stays at the bottom of the tank??
i worry sometimes about my 2 julii they only
get whats left really as all the other get there first!!

hopefuly just for them?? scratch

congrats on the eggs!! those are some pretty cories!

by **lilacamy931** Fri 12 Mar 2010 - 17:55

thanks so much guysxx tropical girl - mine tend to be just cory tanks but do feed them bloodworm, brineshrimp (frozen and live), flake, tabs, sinking pellets. I find putting things like the flake in front of the filter it sprays it all round the tank on all levels and every eats well!

by **SheenaShoup** Fri 12 Mar 2010 - 20:56

I agree Lily, when I feed the guppies I use flake and worm and I put it near the flow so everyone gets some!

by **tropical girl** Sat 13 Mar 2010 - 9:12

ok cheers for that,
yes they get flake,bloodworms
and pellets but its hard to tell in a big tank
as they are only tiny,
and i dont really see them eat,
but i must be donig something right as
ive had these 2 for year+ now
so them hunting around the gounds
they must find food???
thanks again thumbup

Looking great miss! Smile

Thanks to you and kizno I've recently gained a new found love for cory' catfish. Too cute! Have thought about getting a large tank further down the line for them only. The poor dogs are going to have to end up sleeping outside if I keep taking up room for fish! Wink

yh i would love to get some but just aint really got the money to get 4 -6 at £15 each

tropical girl it might be worth getting a few more up them to 6+ if you can they will be alot more active.

They're so lovely, I love cories

by **lilacamy931** Sat 13 Mar 2010 - 21:54

Thanks alot guys, these eggs may not develop properly so here is hoping to the next batch due in a couple of weeks (or if anything to go by the large female days)
@tropical girl - congrats hon on keeping them going and healthy for that period, you definately are doing a great job so dont worry!
@Irishlass - you really will not regret them. I have..3 tanks now with cories, one species only and they really are all lush.
@Kizno - I was lucky to treat myself but you have gorgeous pygmies!
@silverrabbit - thanks sweetpea Smile
