Orange Venezuela's cory fry keep dying

Floating a tub in my main tank and put an airline in. Fry get to about 4 days old then start dying. Change water every day with tank water. Any idea what's causing it?

air pump problems

I have a Hailea ACO-9610 pump with four outlets on it. One of the outlets has far less power coming out of it. All four have a double tap on them but this one only seems to have enough to work one device.

Any Ideas?

infertile eggs

I have a group of Corydora Napoensis that are spawning regular but there seems to be a very low fertility rate on them. Over the last 4 nights I must have had 250 + eggs. I had a spawn last week as well but only seem to have had half a dozen hatch so far and can see lots of white eggs. I know I have...

Mine are approaching this size. Do you think size is what determines if a cory can breed or do you think its more age related(if so what age)?

Sterbai or not?

I got a couple of what were sold as sterbai at the weekend from different places. One is definately a sterbai the other im not sure. It has the same marking as a sterbai but has more brown than black markings on it. Is it still a sterbai or would it be something else. Sorry I dont have any photos

Re: Bristlenose Eggs

leave it as it is. The male cares for the young and tends not to eat while doing this. If you added another female the ladies may take it in turns to breed with him and he may not get chance to eat between raising the young.

Re: Bristlenose Eggs

I tend to put the fry into a frysaver to grow on a bit. It also helps because you can make sure they eat. Just change the water regular or have one that allows the water through it
